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.

Point well taken. There will likely be a spike in July of 2016 as the one-year interval runs out. Hell, I'll be one of them, too.

But I don't think it's going to account for a large, lasting quantity in the grand scheme of things. It'll be a bump, but it won't make the long-term difference. That's got to come from business customers, and they are very wary and conservative, and they can't be pushed by "free" offers as easily as home consumer users.

Enterprise business customers won't get on this bandwagon for at least another 3 years. Windows 7 has a long life ahead for them.

I was disappointed at first due to Win10’s stability. But now it really is better than Win7, which I loved the first few years. Then I was getting a maxed out CPU with Win7. Now everything’s super quiet and stable. Win10 exceeds my expectations now that the upgrades have come in. Are usage uploads happening with Win7 too?

It isn't free when you consider that it wipes out existing apps like Windows Office and requires you to buy a Windows 10 compatible edition.

That said, 10 is quite a bit more stable that Windows 7 and I am beginning to like it.
