To me, the takeaway on the article is that their survey results indicate there will be a slightly better adoption rate for W10 than there was for W7, and I see other factors not discussed in the article in play that would tend to support that.

Arguing that their calculations for "penetration rate" have to be wrong without even knowing what it is that being measured seems pretty stupid.

LOL, I don’t know about it being “stupid”, but as an IT professional, that declaration seemed COMPLETELY out of line with reality, but I readily admit I generally only see on a large scale one segment of an industry, and the opinions of my friends who also work in different IT sectors in the economy. For example, I have no idea what aerospace industries have on their desktops, not even a sample.

I think what others might be pointing out is that what Spiceworks seem to be saying (or what they strongly “imply” with those statistics) is completely off base.

I don’t think you and I have an argument here. If they think there will be a slightly better penetration rate into business than W7, I could easily buy THAT...:)
