Windows 10 is now installed on 300 million devices, free upgrade offer to end this summer

I don't mind Windows 10; it's faster to boot and I can mostly avoid "metro". I just wish MS would de-metro their office products. Comparing Excel 2010 to 2016, I have about 10% more data area under 2010 than 2016. Why the big ugly areas for headers and footers? - all else being equal (font size, row height) I can fit 4 more rows of data on a maximized screen in Excel 2010 than 2016. And "metro" color schemes are hideous.

I have yet to see a corporate environment running on windows 10. There is a problem with that.

I have yet to see a corporate environment running on anything newer than XP. There is a problem with that.

Wow, not my experience at all, but I am sure you're surprised

200 million are because they didn't know how to stop it or switch it back.

From XP through to Windows 10 I've only got excited by Windows 8/8.1 which I disliked because it required a fair bit of work to get used to. In the end I used third party software to make it more familiar. I'm still baffled that people become totally commited to earlier versions of Windows. If you can handle one you can easily adapt to the later versions. There's certainly more to explore in the latest version though.

@Adhmuz, that's almost identical to the way I setup Classic Shell on my Win10.

Now these are not only beautiful, but much more functional for me than the eyesore I saw in the video. To be fair some of the stuff in the video was quite amazing, but my life must be much too simple because I need none of it. I wonder how many people actually use all their pc's that way or if it is just MS trying to lead the way for the ignorant masses again (thinking Win 8)
