Ummm, when Win7 appeared, companies were reeling from the horrific Vista experience.
Right now, the companies who will jump on Win10 are the ones reeling from the similar Win8 experience.
Those with Win7 are, by and large, quite content, and I predict they will stick with it for many years to come. I don't see 75% adoption in two years as likely at all. I think 50% would be a heck of an achievement in businesses.
I'm willing to bet $20 that they don't make 75%, decided by a reasonable average of industry acceptance monitors, two years from this July 29. Loser donates $20 to the contemporary FReepathon.

75% or 73%? I see both figures quoted in the article.
“the horrific Vista experience”
I actually like my Vista. I bitched about Vista until we bought a new system with Windows 8. THAT lasted one day, and it we took it back to Best Buy. I came home and hugged my Vista laptop. Now I must upgrade Vista because it won’t update to the newer web browsers.
If I had a choice between Windows 8 and DOS, I’d pick DOS. Someone on this site referred to the “heiroglypics” of 8. Really. I hate icons, pictures, and mice. Give me words and keystrokes and let me do my job quickly instead of “cutely”. Doesn’t Microsoft understand that serious people buy computers?
