Another poor effort

"Data provided by GoSquared's Global Metrics service show that Windows
10 reached a record market share today, as it was spotted running on 15.67 percent of the computers across the world. These figures were reported on August 20 at 23:00 GMT+2, while overall, Windows 10 accounts for 13 percent of the whole Windows market share."

That doesn't look anything like a "Epic fail" to me.

 

how to copy windows phone apps from one windows phone to another?

That saddens me as I had achieved nearly all the cars and courses in Hill Climb Racing.

Now I must begin again

 

That is good news for them and everyone else.
Windows 10 is the best OS in my opinion ever and I have used Windows from 3.1 upwards.
Wonder if anyone remembers getting BSOD on windows 98 nearly every day until the fix came along.
Also how many hours on dialup it took to do an update

 

W10 & OS X 10.11 increased their market share.
W8.1 & Other were the biggest losers.




Data from NetMarketShare

 

The unimpressive monthly adoption rates for Windows 10 is not much of a story anymore and the increase for February actually dropped from January. The Windows 10 market-share had been increasing around 1% monthly for the final quarter of 15 and peaked for January "16" at around 2% but has now returned to around 1%. I suspect Windows 7 will be around for a long time. Windows 10 is what It is and it is here to stay, only time will reveal it's evolution.

 

I am unimpressed. For a new and strategic OS that is a pretty dismal performance. Look at XP - that is impressive. So long after they tried everything to kill it.

 

I think we are getting to the end of the road with XP though (even with Vista somewhat prematurely). Google, Opera and Adobe have all tossed their roses on the grave, and a lot of other vendors are following suit. Yes, XP is going surprisingly strong nearly two years of post-support. I was hopeful for an unofficial KernelEx project which was supposed to extend XPs life by making newer binaries compatible with XP, but that seems to have been vapourware.

I would have thought that the Windows 10 adoption rate might be higher by now, but it will certainly take hold eventually. At some point, it will be the only supported choice for those wanting to stay on the Windows platform.

 

You've seemed to have had a ghastly amount of problems with past Windows versions. Even with Windows 98 or ME, I simply didn't have as many application error screens as you've seemed to. Maybe if I tried newer hardware, or I was messing around with my system more than I should have. Windows 2000 Professional was solid as a rock. I would say it was even MORE stable than XP. Windows XP x64 Edition was probably the most rock-solid OS I had used (but I was lucky to have completely supported hardware). But you even mention Windows Vista giving you issues with printing. Did you stay around for SP2? It bettered the original release many times over.

I never used Windows 7 other than at work. It seemed decent though even upon its RTM release.

I will not deny Windows 10 is VERY stable and brisk. It runs well. I simply don't like the layout or cosmetics.

 

Ohhhhhhh, yeah, I remember! Our beta bits were mailed to us via snail mail back in the day! *Smile

 

I've always said that Windows 7 is the new Windows XP. *Smile

 

Umm ... W10 is not the "BEST", its good but far from BEST. 95/98 had no problem getting updates from dialup as they were optimized for those types of downloads at that time, I should remember.

Agreed, I've used a lot of the operating systems as well and the only ones that I ever had BSOD's or complete failure to boot and or total corruption for unknown reasons were Windows 95, Windows XP (virus or my own fault/bad drivers) and Vista. 98SE and 2000 were super stable for me. Never used ME. XP was great as long as it was optimized and 7 and 8.1 were a dream, 7 being my favorite.

Don't see how 10's the best when its still a WIP, its not even complete. Even the EDGE browser is a total joke. A re-hash of IE, common. Doesn't matter what you use to surf (Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Safari, Maxthon) all are vastly superior to IE & EDGE and always will be.

I love me some Waterfox (x64 FF) but Chrome x64 BETA is hella fast too, and is right up there neck and neck, in some cases superior then FF but I like the complete customization what FF has to offer. If EGDE wasn't tied into the O/S I'd delete that garbage in a heartbeat.

 

Funny that Windows 98 is being compared alongside dialup. We had high-speed cable in 1999 at my apartment, when I adopted 98 SE, and I used TCP optimization programs to improve flow (since the IP stack was definitely optimized for PPP). But I never used dial-up much with 98 or ME.

 

Had to use dial-up all kinds as cable internet was not available in our suburb until about September 2000. Not long after it was available in our neighborhood we got pamphlets in the mail and switched. I believe even the max available was 3/256k for $40/month and not sure if we paid a modem fee or not.

Regardless I remember a Rogers tech doing the line install to the room where we had the modem because being 2001 only 1 computer and modem next to computer hooked up via ethernet card (that was purchased as an add-on) we were told by Rogers we could use USB if I remember but ethernet was a better alternative and had to speak to a tech rep over the phone to install the CD and configure the computer for use with Rogers Cable and Windows 98SE.

After upgrading to XP I think in 2004 it was plug and play internet after that, no more setup. Not sure if I had to run a Rogers setup with W2000

 

Yeah I had Cogeco Cable in Stoney Creek. We had the Samsung modem with the green LEDs on the front via ethernet. I think I had just about 1 mbps in 1999, and yes only 256 kbps upload. A lot of the DSL modems the Bell put in were those USB modems. Yecchhh!
