For all seven weeks since Windows 10's launch, losses recorded by Windows 7 accounted for 63% of all declines by it and Windows 8.1, with the latter responsible for the remaining 37%.

Windows 10's week-over-week increases in usage share roared out the gate, but have sharply slowed since around the one-month mark. In the last week, weekly growth has dropped below three-tenths of a percentage point

RE: Who cares.
Actually, you don’t have to. Just be happy with what you’re using. The free market will take care of this eventually.

Windows 7 was a good upgrade. Windows 10 has problems. If you have multiple family members, they will get frustrated, as Windows 10 automatically logs onto the account of the last user. Then, it turns off numlock before asking for an entry PIN. There are no benefits to Win10, except to stay current with a free upgrade.

What do you guys think of this alert? I found all four of the updates on my windows 7 program. I'm afraid to delete them. What should I do?
Microsoft Starts Collecting User Data from Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs
"The updates in question are KB3068708, KB3022345, KB3075249, and KB3080149, and you can find their full description in the box after the jump."
"Basically, once you install any or all these updates, Microsoft can start data collection from your Windows 7 or 8.1 computer in the same way it does on Windows 10."

Been using Linux Mint 17.2 for a while now. It’s nice.
And with it on a single 64bit proc, it’s faster than any windoze on a dual 64bit proc. Same ram.
Tried win10 on the 8.1 laptop. And then the speakers stopped working. Tried updating the sound driver NG. Switched back to 8.1. No thanks.

I would have switched Mint if the install would have worked. The live disk ran okay and it installed on VMWare player just fine, but my computer couldn’t find the OS after the REAL install.
So, back to Windows 7 until 2019 (end of support).

All for of those KBs are reportable for Win7
you can turn the reporting off.
go into: control panel\action center
select: “change action center settings”(left menu selections)
scroll to bottom and select: “Customer Experience Improvement Program settings”
select: no and save.

I don’t want to switch. Windows 10 sounds like a SPYFEST

Wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong! Do you just make this stuff up?I see it everyday when I turn on my computer. Get out of the basement. This subject is on the Microsoft forums as a problem.

Did anybody ever answer your question? I would certainly be interested in hearing an answer from someone who knows.

Win 10 probably gaining due to new computer sales that have Win 10 on them now. I do not intend to change from Win 7
