I use a Mac, but thought this should be shared with those who may use Windoze 10!

Thanks. I just shut this off. My data cap doesn’t need updating someone else.

I will upgrade only when I just absolutely have to. I just upgraded from XP to WIN7, and regret it a lot already.

If only I could get a penny for each time I hear or read that comment, I would be very rich right now. Meanwhile, after decades of hearing and reading the same comment, Linux is still at around 1% market share. So, go ahead and become part of the 1 percenters. ;)

Linux is still at around 1% market share. It is true that mostly enthusiasts (like me and the other guy) tend to use Linux on the desktop, but everyone and his dog use it in embedded systems and server side.
In May 2014, W3Techs estimated that 67.5% of the top 10 million (according to Alexa) websites run some form of Unix, and Linux is used by at least 57.2% of all those websites which use Unix.

YAWN!
Linux on servers...
It's the only thing that consoles the lonely hearts of the Linux enthusiasts.
Meanwhile, back to reality.
How many people and businesses actually use Linux of a daily basis as their preferred OS, besides the enthusiasts?
Where is the vast majority of money spent and earned? Is it Linux or Windows? I'll give you just one guess.

Still have XP on one of my putters and won’t upgrade to another system. XP was the best Microsoft has had. Why ruin a good thing?

I live in the sticks. My internet is via my ATT phone plan and a MiFi hotspot.
No way I won’t disable this when I get windows 10.

Does the guy understand local network?...LAN vs WAN?..
this does not increase but would decrease isp data use
Your ISP is you gateway to the Internet..That the WAN
You local network is the PC on the common lan sharing that common ISP WAN connection
so you have 2 or more pc in your house ..old update download would have each pc make it own download from the WAN...so 2 PC x2 downloads .3 PC x3 downloads, ect
new way.. one pc does the download of the update from the Internet.. and then act as the server for the rest...so no matter many.pc yo have at you house..it just the one update download to update all.of them.... so less bandwidth used

Server side and embedded systems?
While true, that's still a very low number when compared to Windows on desktops and laptops and tablets and smartphones and Windows embedded and Windows on servers and Windows in businesses.
I'm surprised that the Linux enthusiasts didn't bring out their 'Android is Linux' claim. YOu people are slipping.

I used Ubuntu live for the first time in a couple of years on the relatively new PC. Amazingly it found most things fairly easily.
Guess I will partition off and install for more routine use. Used to know some Linux but haven’t used it much in a few years. I support windoze stuff.

For the third time in four days, I will make the same post; “Thanks, Ill save this post for later. Ill be glad to get rid of 8.1 but I think Ill let 10 soak in with the general public for a while first.”
That “soak” period is becoming longer and longer. I do not have the patience now to go through another round of frustration, research, tweaking, third-party add-ons, and learning to run another host program like I did with my 8.1 mess.

Servers serve hundreds, thousands and sometimes even more clients. Desktops serve one. As the Alexa report stated, the biggest web servers/farms disproportionately run unix/unix derivatives such as Linux.
