I really don't think the general population abandons entire operating system ecosystems, because of buggy software.
- pythonaut_16 9y agoI think in part they do, otherwise OS X wouldn't have gained as nearly as much marketshare on the promise that "It just works"
- overcast 9y agoOS X gained market share because of the insane popularity of the iPod, and subsequently the iPhone. Gained nearly 4% post iPhone launch.

- overcast 9y agoWhich is totally nonsensical, mostly fed off of nonsense news perpetuated through the general public. I don't like Windows 10 because someone on the internet said it was bad. It's a great OS.
- sgc 9y agoI will never install it until they have dialed back their forced updates. I plan on using 8.1 until I can't, and then jumping to another OS. I had a number of blue screens from updating windows 8.1, and I see photos of windows force updating at crazy times. No forced updates from the brickmasters, thank you.
