What company will want to pay employees to learn Win8 over 6 weeks? $$$$$$$$

Authored by: Steve Martin on Sunday, December 30 2012 @ 10:11 AM EST

I have tried Windows 8 on a desktop. Having done so, I am
of the firm opinion that I could deploy Slackware Linux,
Fedora, Linux Mint, or any of several other distros, along
with Firefox, Chrome, and LibreOffice, and have my staff up
to speed in about 10 percent of the time it would take to re-
train them on Windows 8 alone.

If there's going to be a significant learning curve between
the present systems and newly-deployed systems
regardless, where is the rationale for staying with the
current brand?
