My guess is businesses will continue to use WSUS to manage the rollout and testing of updates, without the hassle of major version updates.

Those the the overhead to maintain a reasonably large IT department will be able to, but small business will see themselves getting hit with things breaking whenever an update is applied.

There has to be a good way of rolling back an update to regain functionality.
