I expressed the same concern to our Microsoft account rep and he said
he'd "pass this on to a group of technical specialists focused on
Windows 8 and see what I can learn for you.". Interestingly, the
Consumer Preview of Windows 8 did show human-readable cert details,
though the Release Preview and later RTM do not.

In our environment, we instruct users to verify the CN name in the server certificate
when connecting to the WPA2/AES secure WLAN. From my testing, it will be a problem with
Win8 as when clicking on "certificate details", it does not show the CN name,
only shows a long string of certificate thumbprint. There is no way for users to verify
certificate like this. How would you resolve this? Thanks.
