Spare moth? It’s leveraging the low hanging fruit to get our ducks in a row by thinking outside the box. (5, 9)

Home parts? That's going the extra mile to put in the hard yards where the rubber meets the road. (5, 9)

The only thing I can figure out from that lot is that 'Home parts' and 'Spare moth' are a mutual anagram. The rest of it fills me with horror!

You are half way there.
You have done the spadework that lays the foundation without boiling the ocean.

I think I have the second word from the anagram: APHORISMS, but I can't work out the first...

There's no T in "Aphorisms" so I can't give you that.
We'll have to wait for the other shoe to drop now that the ball has been down this court before we should begin to see light at the end of the tunnel?

Mixed metaphors ?

Yay - you win.

Today I learned mixed metaphors are actually a thing.
|
|
|
|
|
I once had a manager who over used every metaphor in the book. I used to doodle the metaphors as he spoke them in meetings - made for some really "Terry Pratchett" like images.

I read this the other day, when it was originally published. Wasn't that impressed by the arguments then either.

Even giving it away for free, they can't get everybody to take win 10!
Operating system market share[^]
Win10 12%, Win7 52% - nearly 8 months after release...says a lot, really.
And with XP at 11%, Win 10 has only just overtaken that! 
I was surprised to see 1.66% still using Vista - I assume that's kiosks and such like.

I notice that you neglected to note from the same site that two full years after W7 was launched 50% of users were still using XP. There has always been a major lag in transfers to a new version of Windows. The current one is no different or worse than any previous one. To match W7 the target figure would be around 33% in 18 months time. Let's take a look then.

There is one big difference: this time it's free. More than that even: it's being "pushed" at people, so to not upgrade is harder than to upgrade in many cases. That skews the figures quite a bit, I'd have thought.
