I suppose force/shove down your throat is kind of promoting

The overall picture is confused though, because the figures Microsoft releases cover both consumer and business, and the consumer upgrade was both free and heavily promoted forced by the company. At Ignite, Microsoft refused to give the press numbers for Windows 10 Enterprise take-up alone.

TFTFY

I'm not surprised they don't want to give numbers on W10 Enterprise take-up. Must be miniscule. You'd have to be utterly bonkers to upgrade anything in enterprise to W10 when W7 actually works and lets work to be done.

Given the increasing tendency for "cloud based" (often in form of some Java in browser abomination) there really is decreasing need for Windows these days. Microsoft could be in for a shock if enterprises start to realise that they could in many (not all of course) situations replace users windows installations with other alternatives.
