On compatible Tablets win10 does look really nice as long as you're over 8 inches, any budget thing or phone under the 8 inch mark and you run into features being disabled like the desktop view, which would limit down people wanting to jump into it right away.

The same way every other OS does it. It calls home in the activation process.

I'm still more than happy with Win7 find it literally perfect for my needs from an OS and ya don't mess with perfection. (I'm well aware that Win10 has a lot more security features loaded into its shell that Win7 has, it makes Win7 look like an open door in terms of side by side security in fact, still not my thing tho)


Because you're downloading Windows 10 from Microsoft...?

Also, "more than 75 million" is not an exact number.

Despite regularly updating Win 7, it never suggested me the free upgrade, I must have too much unsupported HW and SW.
Most probably XP and 7 will remain the best seller Windows versions ever on PC.
About Windows in general, Android and iOS tablets are replacing Windows PCs for casual users a lot faster than Windows 10 is expanding on phones and tablets, and despite being given for free on PCs already using recent previous Windows versions.
This said, Windows 10 will almost surely be more successful than Vista and Win 8.x, even on PC alone, and despite growing slower than competitors, it will probably be more successful than most previous Windows versions on mobile devices too, if not as market share, at least as number of licenses sold, so profits should keep on growing even if market share won't.

Windows 10 is great. Installed it and never looked back. never had any issues with my games so far.
75 millions already is pretty cool.

That's what she said.
