Many people have trouble adjusting to the new UI. I have never bothered with these tweaks as the new UI bothered me for the first 10 minutes then I got used to it.

I'm actually hoping win8 would get very widely adopted in business only because it ships with IE10 and HTML5 support.

It is also a very nice combination with WindowsPhone especially the Nokia also with Office installed it would be a better buisness Phone as the new Black Berry Z10. Within 2 years they even got more Apps. W8 got a bigger plan.
