Part of that issue is retraining users in a corporate environment; sometimes it's better to keep a less efficient interface if the retraining/unfamiliarity inefficiencies outweigh the difference between the current UI and the new one. Given that corporate users rarely use touchscreens in the first place, I'm not even sure there's an argument to be made that it can be more efficient for business use.
As it stands, they're trying to out-apple apple, and it's a bit like a guy who's been teaching karate for twenty years, hears everyone likes this new BJJ thing and starts teaching that instead.
Karateka are going to hate the change and people who like BJJ enough to be doing that are going to go with the people who have been teaching BJJ for ten years, not the guy trying to play catch-up.
