After polling nearly 10,000 “information workers” Forrester Research found 32% of employees preferred a Windows to power their next tablet.

12% wanted Windows 7 on their tablet while 20% wanted Windows 8.

Forrester commented that “Windows 8 has higher interest than we expected among employees” and that it “bodes well for Windows 8′s prospects for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) demand.”

They suggested employees will force IT to have a formal support policy for Windows 8 for employee-owned devices and that Windows 8 will accelerate BYOD demand.

    There you go. Employees will see the value of Win 8 long before their IT departments do. Nobody like change. But you can’t stop it.

    Well IT can’t complain about its’ biggest issues with other non Windows devices – security, management and training! It is just another Windows PC so will be managed and secured using current tools and skill sets. More importantly the apps will require no retraining so after a few minutes learning the touch controls (charms, closing the app and switching between apps) they should be good to go.
