Windows 7 and 8.1 Are Gaining More New Users Than Windows 10 (digitaltrends.com)

New submitter TroII writes: After Microsoft ended its year-long "free" Windows 10 offer, new installations have slowed predictably. But in an unexpected turn, October saw more new installs of both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 than of Windows 10. Compared to September's numbers, market share increased only 0.06% for Windows 10, while new installations of Windows 7 and 8.1 were an order of magnitude higher at 0.68%. According to tracking firm NetMarketShare, Windows 7 is still by far the most popular version of the OS, installed on more than twice as many computers as Microsoft's latest offering.

    What do you mean there's nothing wrong with homosexuality? Faggots must die!!

    There is a large number of scientific studies who have shown quite conclusively that there tends to be a direct correlation between how much guys hate homosexuals and how flamboyant their own repressed homosexual tendencies are. You should buy some butt-lube, find yourself a boyfriend and learn about the prostate gland. It would do a lot to solve your blood pressure problem.

    ...Screw Windows 10.

    I'd recommend against that but if you insist.... just remember to use at least two condoms.
