I note that the version 7 share is still almost 3 times the combined share of its successors. If people switch, it may only be because Microsoft forces them to, or because they abandon Windows altogether.
“If people switch, it may only be because Microsoft forces them to”
No one is being “forced” to do anything.
It’s like whenever MS brings out a new OS, if it isnt at 100% in 4 months, it’s because no one wants it.
And for all of the “I’m witching to Linux” tirades, it seems to never get Linux passed the usage numbers of Vista.
