Not surprising at all. Makes perfect sense.

For the Apple angle on this same Gartner data (Apple came out better than the PC vendors), see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3346533/posts

PC sales not so hot, wonder why? ... PING!

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

Maybe their sales would be better if they loaded them with Windows 7. I will be buying a Mac this year .

I don’t now, nor have I ever bought a PC for it’s OS upgrade..I buy them for the hardware upgrade.

Looking at some Intel7 powered stuff right now. I’d like a SSD drive and a pile of ram. I could care less if it has 10 or 7 or 8 on it.

If anything, the free w-10 should have spurred a few sales on the stuff in the stockroom that could be upgraded for free within the MS time period. Assuming the OS was that important.

I think it’s all hooey.....people talking smack...

I don't have much choice as my 6 year old machine finally gave up the ghost.

The new machine came preloaded with 10 and, so far, no issues. The new interface is a big improvement over Win8 but I still installed Classic Shell.

I did the Win 10 upgrade on my laptop when I was in the hospital last week, for something to do. So far, so good.
