Heh - I've agreed to be a "guinea pig" for our company with Windows 8. I have already identified a couple add-ons that enable a computer with Windows 8 to look like a Windows 7 machine.
What I dislike is that Microsoft presumes how you want these apps to be "tiled" on the desktop. For my iPhone, I have arranged icons into a slew of folders that make organizational sense to me...but perhaps make no sense to anyone else. Microsoft recognizes that the iPad has made significant inroads as a portable, personal computing device, and its touch screen interface is intuitive and easy to use. IT departments are scrambling with executives who want to use their personal iPads to access company IT resources - this has resulted in the "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) terminology entering the vocabulary.
