Windows 10 for Businesses?

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?"

Verizon’s FiOS Customers to Receive Upload Speeds That Match Their Current Download

You may have seen the ads as of late regarding Verizon Rewards program. If you were distracted by the guy being taken away by birds in the commercial, Verizon’s message was that they will match your download speeds with your upload speeds. Now, for anyone trying to run a small business or an avid gamer – this is huge.

Maybe you didn’t know it, but yes, your internet connection has different speeds for uploads and downloads. Without getting too much into network architecture and how data transfer actually works, just know that ISP companies set the default setting to download faster than upload, as most people have more of a need to download information. If you are running a VPN Server or perhaps sharing a video with friends – you may notice that your computer’s speed isn’t nearly as impressive as when you download something or stream a movie.

Now, allow me to preface this by stating that this free upgrade seems totally worth it, so far. As commonplace with Verizon, I’m waiting for a surprise technicality on my next bill. However, if you do go through the two second steps to match your upload speeds to your download speeds, don’t be too surprised when you see something like this:

Yeah,

To my surprise, I’m paying for 15MBPS, yet I’m receiving over 24MBPS. Which is pretty cool, but it’s not what Verizon’s Rewards program is selling. They are selling to match what you are paying for. Probably should have mentioned that in your ads, Verizon.

Then again, one really can’t complain – I’m getting more than I’m paying for plus the added bonus of increased upload speeds. All in all, a pretty good deal.
