Windows 10: Windows 10 Adoption Already Slowing Down

Windows 10 desktop

a picture worth a thousand words





Windows 10 adoption has slowed down considerably

 

Windows 10 automatically update all drivers even if I don't want

Yep, microsoft blew it bigtime, windows 10 is a fail, its adoption has already slowed down, rate of people reverting back is high

I'm not even supporting it anymore, I fix windows 10 by installing the previous operating system and disabling the updates to 8x and 7 that add windows10 style SPYWARE

7 was the last good product they ever produced

im using the 5 years of remaining support for windows 7 to transition completely to linux

 

Hi there

WELL what a surprise -- doesn't anybody understand that whatever it is you can't grow a product at a large rate INDEFINITELY. Plasma TV's, smart phones or whatever -- once a market matures then the initial huge growth rates will come right down.

Windows 10 has already reached most of the early adopters so of course the progress from here on in WILL be slower.

A lot of businesses (and investors) still don't understand -- if a product grows at say 20% a year initially it can't grow indefinitely at that rate !!!!.

So IMO a statement of the obvious.

Many large organizations would wait until the coast is clear and most of the bugs have been worked out before migrating to Windows 10. Enterprises have a lot more at stake when an OS doesn't behave properly.

Give it at least six months before we can conclude anything from the trend. I suspect Windows 10 will be at least as popular as Windows 7. Microsoft has the knack of releasing a popular OS every other version, and since Windows 8 was a dud, Windows 10 should be a winner.

How many have already gone back to windows 7or 8, I know a few people that didn't like it one bit and went back within the first week of having 10.

 

All the early adopters are done. At least, that would be my guess as to the high adoption rates early on. I know several people running 7 or 8.1 who did the whole "Get Windows 10" bit on their PCs, but they have not received their upgrade yet. Probably non-qualified drivers holding back some of these upgrades.

 

I'm nervous as hell in switching all my work systems over to W10. ...just not looking forward to it. I plan to wait 90 days and reassess my network before I pull the trigger. Right now, I don't even think 90 days will be enough.

Time will tell.

 

It will be really interesting to see the final figures of course, I only know personally 5 people who upgraded, all of them are now back on their original OS.

This may not be what it appears, I suspect a few, like me wanted to see what it was like but having found a few bugs or the interface awkward have resorted back to (in my case) Windows 7, and like me may upgrade again after SR1 or a few issues have been sorted out. The main reason they gave for going back was the forced driver updates (that was the one that screwed me also).

I may invest in a retail version of W10pro at some future date.

It would be interesting to get a sense not only of how many people switched back to their previous OS but why. So far I've only had one customer revert (back to Windows 7) and that was because the person simply could not tolerate any change. I've seen this before when doing maintenance on computers that some customers can't tolerate even a misplaced desktop icon. It also depends on whether or not a person was happy with their OS to begin with; if they had and hated "8" it seems much less likely that they would revert back to it. On the other hand desktop users who were/are happy with "7" may not see enough benefit with 10 to deal with the learning curve (minimal though it may be). Just speculating over my morning coffee *Nerd

 

Well, I'm one of those who tried Win10 and didn't like it. I reverted back to Win7 and I like it even more now.

 

I upgraded from Win 7 around a week or so ago. Loved Win 7, and for the first day or so, hated Win 10. Once I'd had a proper play around though, I changed my view and wouldn't consider going back. I had a few issues initially, but most were no doubt due to upgrading over a fairly old Win 7 install, coupled with some possibly over enthusiastic cleaning up of old programmes. *Redface

Yes, it's easily forgotten that the cut-off for the free upgrade is 7/29/2016...lots of people are taking their time for one reason or another...Lots of the "You'll have to take Win7 from my cold, dead fingers" sentiment will mysteriously evaporate before the cut-off, I'll predict...*Wink

 

Thanks for your comments... each of us will get to check it out and see what we life about it. tks.. I am very interested in see what it is all about. thanks, Cliff M.
