Yeah, there's a Start button. Big deal. All it does is drop you into Metro -- pardon me. Into The-Interface-Formerly-Known-As-Metro. There's still no Start Menu, which is what the "I want the Start Button" was all about.
Systems engineers in this domain don't really do the "building" or even designing per se. Rather, they are the guys who set the requirements. And people like Boeing, Raytheon, LockMart and the rest all love former military because of the domain knowledge.

Except that his current experience will be of even more use.
To the submitter: Consider working as a systems engineer for a defense contractor. Seriously. You have a metric crapload of relevant domain knowledge, along with a EE background. I wouldn't be surprised if you could write your own ticket.

See that hole there? That's the sar-chasm.

If every nuke on the planet were detonated the combined dust clouds might cause a year or two without a summer
Great! Now we have a way to fight Global Warming!!! Let's get busy!!!
To be honest, I hadn't heard of it either until this thread made me want to search it.
Just went to Stardock's site and checked out Fences. It looks like it's the Windows 3.1 "Program Manager" for Windows 7.
Please note: This is NOT a dis on Fences. I was one of the people who LOVED Program Manager, and used it to organize my work.
I'm probably going to go purchase it for my Win7 box.
Sure it is... if you're part of the Marketing Division of the Sirius^H^H^H^H^H^HMicrosoft Corporation.
And guess who's idea is of "good reason" is more important to MS: Said marketing drone, or their userbase's?
