In Pictures: 9 things enterprise IT will like about Windows 8

Microsoft has simplified its versioning system, which was much too complex. Instead of up to nine different options with Windows 7, Windows 8 comes in Home, Professional and Enterprise.

Smooth deployment

We tested the Windows 8 User State Migration Tool, which allows user settings to be migrated to a new machine; Windows To Go, which makes a bootable (think USB Flash Drive) instance, system hardware-permitting; and we played with making customizable Windows 8 P/E images for distribution purposes. By combining these tools, coupled to server-based key management tools, deploying Windows has been made almost as simple as an online Linux distro.
