• Win10 usage share is slowly creeping upward (gerund used intentionally)

    Gregg Keizer in Computerworld:

    According to California-based analytics vendor Net Applications, Windows 10 added nine-tenths of a percentage point in July, posting a user share of 36.6% of all personal computers and 41.4% of those running Windows… Windows 7 shed half a percentage point in July, slipping to 41.2% of all personal computers and 46.6% of those running Windows.

    Computerworld now predicts that Windows 7 will account for 35% of all active Windows editions when support ends in January 2020. At that time, Windows 10 should power nearly 59% of all Windows laptop and desktop PCs.

    Not just any version of Win10, mind you. Here’s the admonition I see in the Windows Store on my production Win10 1703 machine:

    That’s a tad overstated – support officially ends on Patch Tuesday, October 9, 2018, but there’s probably a week or two of leeway, waiting for the second official Win10 patch of the month.

    Come to think of it, if history is any indication, that may just be days. Oh well.
