So the only thing left to ask is what you mean by business customer? They didn't show how mobile office or excel works because there isn't anything new with that. the ui is new and that is what was shown off, but if you mean business where you think you can unlock and run custom ui's, or run custom roms, or decide where apps are loaded from, there isn't going to be any difference from business customer or regular consumer. At most there is going to be a business hub.

You said you can't decide where to load apps in, and how you can't unlock the phone or run custom roms, but you are basing these as facts when they are just rumors.
I think people are getting too ahead of themselves after the presentation. I agree, the Microsoft's unveiling has raised many questions and no answers. But that is where we are, questions with zero answers. We can assume it can't multi-task or we can assume we can't unlock it, we can assume there isn't anything new with excel or office. But the bottom line is: these are all assumptions. We are all judging a book by its cover. We haven't seen the whole OS, we haven't seen the guts yet. Simply the aesthetics of the OS so far.
We need to wait it out until MIX so we can see more of the OS as a whole. We only saw a glimpse of the new features.
IMO, the unveiling was a brilliant move in marketing strategy. I think Microsoft has finally learned that marketing is everything in the mobile world and they just pulled off the first step. They unveiled the product, and they now have everyone talking about it. They have everyone scratching their heads and wanting to see and know more! BRILLIANT! This strategy is going to keep the OS alive until the launch. If they showed off everything, the OS will be dead in the public's eyes before the launch date.
