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

Posted by BeauHD on from the stunted-growth dept.

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.

    With Windows get girls. With Linux get asses.

    Best bet is to download Windows 10 and install bash.

    This is a terrible study design. They group people into homophobe and not homophobe with a survey, then they show gay porn to the homophobes and straight porn to the non homophobes. This proves what? That people who answer as homophobic are more prone to penile enlargement? Show the homophobes BOTH gay porn AND straight porn and see if there is any DIFFERENCE in enlargement. Then do the same for non homophobes. THAT is how you design a real study. But since they didn't test this, all they managed to prove was that homopbobes are more prone to penile girth enlargement. Heck just the fact that their penis is being measured could be the enlarging factor - YOU DON'T KNOW BECAUSE IT'S A SHITTY STUDY DESIGN.

    But I expect no less from that branch of pseudo-science called "psychology".
