Of course it is. Microsoft is stuffing it down as many people as it can, forcing its download and pushing "critical updates" that continually reorient people towards it.

And you know what ? It is still at less than 12% of market share as of December 2015. After having started admittedly strong in August 2015 at over 5%.

So that is a 7 point progress over 4 months.

For a product that is free.

And all you need to do to get it is acknowledge one of the many, many adverts Microsoft is pushing at you - adverts that you practically cannot ignore if you wanted to.

By all rights Windows 1 0 should have over 70% of market share right now. Every clueless user of Vista, 7 and 8.x should have fallen over themselves in their rush to get a free update that, reportedly, makes their PC work faster.

Instead, less than 12% market share after five months.

So you go crowing about "fastest adoption rate ever", like your kind has been doing for every Windows release since 98.

The truth is, people are not flocking to a free product. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
