Two years after launch, Windows 7 had a penetration rate of 60 percent From the same article that is predicting a 75% penetration of Windows 10 in two years. . . not believable. And penetration of what, small business, medium business, or Enterprise? Also was it penetration by choice or default.

From the same article that is predicting a 75% penetration of Windows 10 in two years. . . not believable. Why is it "not believable"? All they have to do is pick up another 13% on the adoption rate from W7, and they weren't offering free upgrades in the first year then.

WIndows 7 is fading fast, the XP holdouts are looking for their next OS, and 10 (hopefully) will work. I can see the penetration given that.
Sadly, when they do have a system that works (as XP did/does) they chuck it.
Some of us old (XP) farts who are holding out liked the barebones feel of the older systems and not having to learn hieroglyphics to do what used to be relatively simple tasks.

I suspect a much of this is based on the “no cost” upgrade from Win 7 and 8. Microsoft seems to be looking to get rid of legacy operating systems much like Apple has largely done.
