It all depends on what you are used to in that regard. M$ is no slouch when it comes to changing the look, feel, and workability of the desktop. Look at the progression from Win98, to ME, to XP, to 2000, to Vista, to Win 7 and now Win 8. It's not just from the administrative point of view, it's from the user point of view. I like my applications to run, to be secure, and have a safe, secure OS wrapping the entire thing. Being able to recompile or load updated apps so that they have the correct hooks into the OS so I don't have to worry about a piece of legacy software that I like either not compatible with, or works but not secure within the new OS is just somewhere I really don't want to go. And that's from both an administrative (which I do for a living) and a user (which I'm also) point of view.
