Thanks, but I’m being patient, and waiting for 250M, a quarter of the way to the published goal. Have gotten a number of complaints from the list about doing pings to articles celebrating every 10M increment. MS Sales doubtless loves the press and biz mags love the page hits, but who on FR wants to get 100 pings about “Another 10M installs!!” on the way to 1B?

I thought as much. . . that's why the question marks. i seriously question if 11% of the goal is anything to crow about. I didn't post an article on OS X El Capitan reaching a 25% penetration a couple of weeks ago either, even though. that adoption was a bit more voluntary without the continual in your face push that Windows 10 is getting.
