Businesses still aren't upgrading from Windows 7

Research by Kollective shows that businesses are still not making the transition to Windows 10 at a rate quick enough to be ready when Microsoft retires the operating system.

About 35% of the world's computers still run Windows 7 despite the fact that Microsoft plans on ending its support for the older operating system entirely in January 2020.

I love companies like this when I do cyber security reviews.

Why change. There is nothing wrong with 7. Although we have a PAID support contract, MS will NOT give us support or refund us

Same with move to Win7. And WinXP. And Win2K. And WinNT. Nothing unusual.

The game said "install on Windows 7 or better" ... so I installed it on Linux

 

[dualmeister]

Haha. Still see lots of companies using Windows XP.

And W7 Works

Consistently.

If W10 get updated, it breaks a whole lot of low-level stuff (like AV programs etc)... I expect that sooner or later there will be a W10 update which will break AD integration, and to fix it, the AD DC will need to be updated...

W7? Never had any issues with it.

Don't want updates, all they do is break things that are working.

Well I for one don't blame them.
Many jumped from XP to Vista, thinking it was going to be like going from NT to 2000 to XP. Alas, it was more of a 98 to Me upgrade and scarred IT Admins, and Users, to this day.
