Microsoft's Fall Creators Update Already on More Than Half of All Windows 10 PCs (betanews.com)

Wayne Williams, writing for BetaNews: Microsoft releases two big feature updates a year for Windows 10. 2017 saw the arrival of the Creators Update in April, followed by the Fall Creators Update in October. The Creators Update was a slow and at times problematic release. A quarter of Windows 10 users still didn't have it by the time its successor rolled out. Thankfully, Microsoft seems to have learned some important lessons, and the Fall Creators Update is being installed at a much faster rate. According to the latest figures from AdDuplex, a mere two months after it launched, the Fall Creators Update (1709) is already on more than half of the Windows 10 PCs in use -- 53.6 percent to be precise. That's up from 20.5 percent a mere month ago.

    Singular 'they' has been used for centuries and is perfectly correct.

    There is no singular "they", but there is a genderless, singular "he". The fact that some people choose to abuse the language by using the wrong pronoun doesn't mean it is suddenly the best choice for clear language.
