I'm not sure this is worth a ping to the Windows List, since it's of highly dubious factual content (despite tons of bogus statistics). But I do appreciate the ping, if for no other reason than the humor aspect. :-)

You see the flack that Tacticalogic is giving me on this? i know about the lies that can be done with such statistics . . . and the total lack of logic. Under 15% general adoption but 60% by business? Where??? He is so absolutely sure of the facts given in the article. Totally lacking in healthy skepticism and convinced of his correctness.

I'm finding it entirely credible, because we did that upgrade on over 5000 machines (from XP to W7) well within 2 years, and we intend to do it again upgrading from W7 to W10.

The two of you crack me up. :-)

But I'm sure enough that Win10 won't achieve 75% adoption in businesses that I've offered a $20 bet (donation to a FReepathon) on it.

See #14 above.

The statement I gave you "flack" about was the statement that "no business moves that fast on a new OS. . .". I know that's just flat out wrong because I've seen it done. I don't know where you get these ideas, but that one is just plain bullshit.
