Nice, I didn't realize they had that. Apple has the same thing, but it only works on a Mac, so this actually does open up some doors on the Windows side. I guess in hindsight, I should have figured they'd have something like this, but the lack of domain support made me question whether it was intended for business or not.
I spent $500 on a Mac mini for the office for deploying and remotely managing all the iOS devices, so that side is covered, now I have to spend some time getting to know Win8RT. I'm actually really looking forward to it. I spent 3 months testing a WM7 phone, and I really enjoyed the OS. There were some annoyances, like the built-in search was locked to Bing, but it was all pretty minor. I think this tablet will be pretty fun to play around with.
Man I can't wait to tear down our BES. Soon...
