The relevance of Metro and Apps

Question

It would seem a number of respondants are missing the point here.
What we are talking about here is the Enterprise version of the new O/S, not he home version. What needs to be asked is whether Metro and Apps have a place on an Enterprise PC. In my view they do not. Would I allow an image of Windows 10 with all the Apps
on it be pushed out to all my my Enterprise desktops? The simple answer is: No. They have no place there. What you want on your PC at home is your concern but when you are sitting in front of a work place PC you should be focusing on your job and not playing
with all manner of Apps.
One can argue that when creating an new image you can easily uninstall all the Apps but that is just extra work creation. I am busy enough as it is and having to remove all the unwanted Apps is just another irritation. The Enterprise version of this new
O/S should be clean and ready for distribution on the network and not full of clutter.
Besides that I think this new O/S is looking great and really folks at Microsoft, this is what Windows 8 should have looked like when it was released. 

Answer 1

I agree with you.
Perhaps a lot of folks - including those at Microsoft - secretly hope that somehow they can make it so Metro/Modern Apps become relevant for enterprise users.
That cuts to the core of the problem.  Ignoring that most of them are games, the fact is that simple, big-font, non-cognitive-challenging Apps don't fit because life is just not that simple.  People get paid to use computers to do complex
things, that need every millimeter of screen space to do (often with multiple monitors), and they need systems that don't distract them even one iota from their work.
Most corporate folks are smart enough to browse to Weather.com (or check their iPhone) when deciding whether it's nice enough outside to go out to lunch, they have Outlook / Exchange to help them manage their meeting schedules. 
The stuff they use to do actual work uses 9 point fonts, if not 8.
And even though Microsoft seems to imply all the eggs need to go in the Metro/Modern basket, we don't see things like a Metro/Modern Excel, Word, Powerpoint, etc.  Visual Studio is not a Metro/Modern App.
Lastly, let us not forget that "thin is in" with regard to corporate computers.  Companies don't want to buy employees any more computer hardware than they need for basic work.
