From the article:

Two years after launch, Windows 7 had a penetration rate of 60 percent

Absolutely. From TFA:

> ...according to a survey conducted by Spiceworks...
I know all about Spiceworks; hell, I've used it the last two places I've worked. They are not to be trusted as a source for anything except echo chamber noise when it comes to surveys.

Nonetheless, even paid shills like Spiceworks get plenty of airplay. Microsoft has deep pockets for tech whores who write what they want to see.

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. :-)

DING DING DING!! Winner!

Exactly correct. Large enterprises such as the one I work in (20,000+ desktops) aren't going to be moving off Windows 7 anytime soon. We were lucky to actually upgrade to Windows 7 / 64 Bit after our dumb director of Engineering said "what user needs more than 4gb to do their job?"

Thank God and greyhound he's gone .......

OTOH, I just updated to the latest Windows 10 Bits (10158) and so far am liking what I see. It's downright ZIPPY!
