I think the problem for MS is that Windows 7 is much like Word 2003. It has all the features that most users will ever want, and works well enough to mean there's no real reason to want to upgrade, hence them needing to offer the free upgrade to 10, and hence that process now slowing down as the "ooh, look, shiny!" brigade are done, leaving those who are happy with W7 who will take a lot more persuading. I've updated my laptop to W10, and when I get a chance it will be reverted to the image I took before the upgrade, as it offers me nothing new (as a user, I'm sure the points outlined elsewhere on this page as under-the-bonnet improvements are true for developers), and in fact works less well than when it was running W7 - there are a bunch of things that just don't work properly, and a load of things appear to be unfinished/missing (settings, etc). If I could move completely away to Ubuntu then I would, but I have one piece of software on my laptop that I need to run which needs Windows (Cubase), and on my desktop I have a variety where there isn't a linux-compatible alternative that works well enough, so that's that. But I will be running W7 until it's too dangerous to do so, as I detested Windows 8, and for me W10 still has the horrible look and feel of it.
