Low purchase intent on Windows 8

I often work offline, and receive large emails both personal and work-related. Furthermore, while my work has web email access, for security reasons images and many files must be downloaded locally via a secure'ish link. We've already been told to not get Windows 8...
 

If a friend of the company is able to find and be bothered by such things, I don't understand why others had not inside the company. I used to manage the usability team that tested everything to make sure it was easy to use, discover and competitive. I don't get the feeling that was done as much as they should have or problems like above would not be there.

Amir,

When you ran usability, it was bad enough :) Now I guess there's simply no usability studies at all.
And why would Steven dictate a new version only after 3 years? So he could look good for "delivering it on time"? This is actually what this thing (Windows 8) looks like, a half-baked thing that's halfway through development, but was sort of put the approval and release process...
