Color me skeptical, but then, I don't take the drugs they do in Stamford, Connecticut. Nor do I use ""hype cycles" and "magic quadrants" for visualization.

It's time for some Windows 10 Rah-Rah Marketing Hype, courtesy of Gartner ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

These guys are such craven lapdogs. Their enthusiasm is almost charming in its innocence, is it not?

Now here's a quote for y'all:
"There will be tens of millions of users familiar with the operating system before the end of 2015," research vice president Steve Kleynhans said in a statement.
How is that a good thing??? Microsoft already claims over 110 million installed copies of Windows 10.

If ONLY "tens of millions" of the users are familiar with the operating system a month from now, what about the other 90 million users? Is Gartner implying that they haven't a clue what they're doing in Windows 10?

Somebody explain this Marketing Speak to me, please...

This isn’t Rocker Science.

Windows 10 is a free upgrade for most PC users and that offer runs out in 2016. Many, me included, will wait until as many bug fixes have been implemented before making the jump. Ditto enterprise installs.

I’m super excited! So excited that I went and bought my first apple.

MS can take their bug infested software and stick it.

You all should watch this video about disabling Win10 spying. He explained by Win10 is free by saying that Win10 is not the product, YOU are. You won’t believe just how big of a window Microsoft and the intel agencies have into your life.
