Most Firefox Users Still Running Windows 7 (softpedia.com)

Posted by msmash on from the expectations-vs-reality dept.

Microsoft is pushing hard for Windows 10 to become the operating system of choice for everyone across the world, but this isn't happening just yet, as Windows 7 keeps dominating the desktop market. From a report on Softpedia: The Firefox Hardware Report published recently by Mozilla shows that Windows 7 is the number one browser for users running the company's browser, with a share of 44.86 percent, followed by Windows 10 with 25.67 percent. Seeing Windows 7 dominating the desktop OS charts is not surprising, but on the other hand, it's living proof that Microsoft will really have a hard time moving users to Windows 10 before 2020 when it reaches end of support. Microsoft's Windows 10, however, already improved substantially since its launch in 2015, mostly thanks to the free upgrade offer targeting Windows 7 and 8.1 users, but this still isn't enough to become the number one choice for PC users.

    The electoral college is voting today. All the Trump people have their panties in a bunch that he might have to concede to Hillary.

    Can't wait for another round of Triggered Snowflakes whining about losing.

    "I want everybody to pay attention here. This is dangerous," Obama said at a Hillary for America event in Miami Gardens, Florida.
    "Because when you try to sow the seeds of doubt in people's mind about the legitimacy of our elections, that undermines our democracy. Then you are doing the work of our adversaries for them."

    That is, until Hillary Loses.

    The electoral college votes today and Congress votes on January 6, 2017. When all is said and done, then the election is finally over. The only reason this is an issue and not a formality is because Trump lost the popular vote by a YUGE margin. And being a founding member of The Friends of Putin Club doesn't help either.
