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.

No, it wasn't. That was a subordinate clause in my overall statement that I disagreed with the premise that 75% of businesses would migrate to Windows 10 in under 2 years. . . You said they would. Now you are parsing your statement, as you have tried to do in the past.

No, it wasn't.

Go back and look at my first reply to you. I quoted that, and only that statement as the part I took exception to.

You said yourself they don't provide any details about their survey methodology, so we don't know exactly what "penetration" amounts to.

I quoted from the article that they say they found a 60% "penetration rate" for W7 two years after release, so that's not a prediction but a measurement from historical data. It doesn't explain the methodology but it's at least data that can be extrapolated from to evaluate their prediction, and that's what I did.

We don't know exactly what the methodology and metrics are for what they're calling "penetration rate", but we know even less about whatever it is that you're using that says it's "bogus".
