So here's something interesting;
I've been reading a
few articles that predict that half of all organizations will have
commenced their Windows 10 roll out by January next year.
"I believe that CIOs will begin to upgrade to Windows 10 this year if
their software vendors support it," said Matt Mielke, director of IT at
Innovations Federal Credit Union.
John Gracyalny, VP of
IT at SafeAmerica Credit Union says "We have board approval for
workstation memory upgrades and for moving
to Windows 10 and Office 2016 this year. But it's not so much a result
of what Microsoft has done as it is that our various technology vendors
now support it."
Dirk De Busser, IT manager at Fashion Club 70, claims that he has been rolling out
Windows 10 Enterprise since October last year on new computers.
I found this particularly interesting as I have actually gained new clients as
a result of Windows 10 and the problems users encountered. That's not
to say that the OS is a problem - but companies usually take the "Let's
Wait and See" approach when it comes to upgrading OS's. Heck, I know
companies who are still on XP and choose to pay the various fines that
come with running the obsolete OS. Windows 7 simply wasn't compatible
with their back-end systems.
From what I have seen at
the front lines, it seems that the dust is only just now settling with
Windows 10 after several large updates.
Regardless,
I'm happy with Windows 10 and am actually using it on my primary system.
I suppose these articles and the aforementioned quotes shows that
Windows 10 is more than ready. But I'm still getting emails along the
lines of "Hey Christopher, I just installed Windows 10 to get rid of the
Microsoft nag - now how do I go back to 7?"
