It’s not about bitching that new Windows is not like old Windows , it’s about slumping PC sales .

Not everyone that purchases a PC is purchasing for home use , business sales account for a nice chuck of the market share .
There isn’t much of a reason for them to purchase a machine with an operating system that still has not had all the bugs worked out and serious privacy issues .

I have half a dozen computers in my house and the little Mac is the most stable of all.

Business sales account for a large portion of sales, true, but those bulk sales are often made to corporations with customized deployment environments. My company does business with Dell, and none of our client machines come shipped with operating systems. We deploy our own. OEM operating system deployments are generally reserved for small businesses and home users.

Historically business PC upgrades have been driven by ever increasing hardware requirements of new OS releases. Most businesses have skipped Windows 8/8.1 and are upgrading from 7 to 10, and their existing hardware is working just fine.
