The real unspoken elephant in the room is that 50% W7 now, is much higher than XP was 18mo before its originally planned EOL.

MS is at some point either going to have to extend support by a few years or have about 1/3rd of the internet online with foreverday bugs. They could turn free W10 upgrades back on for consumers I suppose; but on the enterprise side a lot is legacy crapware blocking upgrades, and volume licensing means that they could go W10 anytime they're ready anyway.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.
