Re: Windows 8 isn't a good comparison

Win8 wasn't a free upgrade and already had a lot of people grumbling about pre-release versions and the new UI

To an extent, the new UI is a lot closer to the Windows 7 UI though it is different enough to cause people to install alternatives even now.

Win10 is a free upgrade (to most relevant users)

Yes, it is. That wouldn't be enough to skew the comparison, however, since users will still want to compare and contrast the use against what they had before. For example, I much prefer WIndows 10 to Windows 8 but I'd still prefer to stay on Windows 7, and I'd probably install Classic Shell or whatever else to make up for what is missing on any of these.

But then I normally use openSUSE...

I'm having a sweepstake at work to guess the number of downvotes this will get... :-)

I was downvote 37. Did you win? ;)
