Ed Bott’s poll results: Here’s why people are sticking with Windows 7

Posted on October 5th, 2020 at 10:16 woody Comment on the AskWoody Lounge

Ed got more than 3,200 replies to his survey. Here’s a summary of what people are saying about moving away from Win7:

DO YOU PLAN TO UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 10 IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS?
The answer to this question was pretty emphatic. Just under 58% replied No, with another 27% answering Not Sure. Only 16% said Yes.

Lots of interesting info in that ZDNet article.

Patch Lady Susan Bradley posted a question last week, referencing Ed’s survey. We got dozens of interesting, and well-considered, replies.
