The real fun will be adapting all the legacy shit so many large companies refuse to abandon.

Or a separate 'Windows 8 Business' SKU.

So much for job security. Don't you know that you aren't supposed to give this stuff away? If users knew how easy the shit we do really is, there won't be any more jobs for desktop support!

There is one thing I'm looking forward to when it comes to windows 8.
http://www.winrumors.com/windows-8-s...eenshot-leaks/

As for the rest of it...I don't really care much. As long as its quick on the hardware I have it on and that administrative tools are comprehensive and not buried in too many wizards.

Yes, it should do an even better job of restoring viruses and spyware than the current Windows Restore does, thereby further guaranteeing my future employment.

I like the Windows Phone 7 UI, so I'm digging the Windows 8 UI. It may steer me towards a Windows Phone when it comes time to contract renewal is there's solid integration.
