WINDOWS 7 still remains more popular than it was in the summer, though it is considerably down year on year as we dive into the last Netmarketshare figures of 2016.
Windows 7 stood at 48.34 per cent market share during December 2016, (+1.17 month on month / -7.34 year on year) suggesting that its take up in the enterprise market continues to be a lot slower than Microsoft would have hoped.
Looks like 7 continues it's journey to becoming the new XP. I hope M$ is throwing a huge fit over it.

Fuck off CIA nigger
I can run NT 6 progs now.
And OP proved he was retarded yet again. It took Win7 3 years to surpass XPs market share. Win10 has been out only for 1.5 years and is at the same market share rate Win7 was after it had been out for 1.5 years.
yeah but win7 didn't install itself automatically on unsuspecting people's computers
Not to mention Steams recent Hardware survey showed Windows 10 at 50 percent
An opt in survey from a specific service is worthless.
Also
You'd think a tech news site would get its urls correct.
If you already have a botnet software, one more won't make much difference
nice digits faggit. Also, I thought win10 was already past all the previous windows os?
A buddy of mine is in the Army. He recently got a Thinkpad x301 or some shit, and had me put Linux on it. Wiping Win10 almost made me ejaculate.

Steam is filled with retards who update whenever they see the icon flash. If there's an update for a game, they instinctively press yes in case it makes the game run faster.
They also fell for the DX12 meme.
Windows 7 wasn't blatant botnet like 10 though.
I agree with , Windows 7 didn't have a giant free upgrade offer. Despite being available for free for the first year Windows 10 is merely tracking on par with Windows 7. Imagine how large Windows 7 adoption would have been if it had a free upgrade offer like Windows 10 did. The fact is Microsoft with a giant ad campaign and has had difficult giving Windows 10 away. Had Windows 10 not had the free upgrade it probably would have done worse than Windows 8.
Pretty irrelevant. See OPs post, it is about enterprises supposedly not upgrading, and enterprises almost always purchase software assurance which entitles them to free upgrades.
You think normalfags even know what that is?
The amount of people I encounter who are forced to use W10 due to being stealth upgraded is staggering.
Enterprises hated W8 for being a workflow and productivity destroying piece of shit and W10 has barely better reception.
The only thing 8 changed from a user point of view was the start menu, and that is hardly a workflow and productivity destroying feature.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Metro reorganized large portions of the UI in a completely haphazard and un-intuitive manner. People were having trouble figuring out how to even shut their computer off. The start screen was the least of it's problems. My company refused to have anything to do with it until Win8.1 got mature.
Microsoft took years of slow UI improvements, and tossed them in the garbage, because they wanted a touch interface for desktops.
This. They threw out literally decades of their own research on how to make a productive UI and pissed on desktop users.
Also, never forget that Windows doesn't count downgrades against windows 10.

You mean the settings app? Because people are constantly changing their display resolution or clock in their workflows?
The same as its always been shutdown /s /t 0 or right click on the start menu, or just left click on the start menu. Also users never shut down their computers, they dont pay for electricity and dont want to have to wait for their computers to wake up. Its a serious issue in corporate environments because security updates often dont take effect till after a reboot. And if you introduce mandatory reboots users bitch that they lost data because they didnt save whatever they were working on.
Stop being retarded, they didnt for 7 either.
wait for their computers to boot up
Huh? Its very relevant. was calling OP retarded because Windows 10 is tracking on par with Windows 7, yet there is absolutely no doubt that the only reason Windows 10 has managed to stay on par with Windows 7 is because Microsoft forced upgrades on peoples computers and gave Windows 10 away for free. Its great that enterprise have software assurance that give them upgrade rights, there is no denying that Windows 10 got a huge amount of installs from the general public because its free.
Free is a much easier sell than a $120 OEM license. Yet despite that clear advantage Windows 10 had over Window 7 with the general public Windows 10 only tracks on par.
Really? Source that shit nigger.
Again, normies dont buy windows outside of OEM licenses. They pirate it or get OEM licenses. The last time I can remember seeing a non-OEM windows disk at a normies house was when Win95 came out on floppies.
...
...
I don't know or care about how others feel about Windows 10.
I do know that having tried it, I don't like the interface. There's not enough new features or good enough exclusive games to put up with the hassle or the expense, as my OEM license didn't qualify for any upgrade had I opted into it for some god forsaken reason. They also still tie licenses to motherboards and I think they're going to look into Windows as a subscription service like they did with Office.
Tell me, why should I make the big upgrade?
...
OS installation from anything other than a verified source is not a risk I'm going to entertain.
You're retarded. Its still a stock ISO you're downloading. All the hack does is install a phony verification server as a local process and then redirects Windows verification software to point to the phony local server instead of Microsofts
IIRC, Microsoft offers the Education version from a good ol' FTP server, so you can literally download that .iso and then use any of the tools to activate it.
They also offer a "90-day trial" that you can easily download from their webpage using a fake hotmail address with a proxy or something. That .iso can be activated later on with the same tools as before, and you could even grab an Enterprise version doing this.
You don't even need to activate Windows. If you can stand the watermark and the little pop-up notification nagging you every hour, that is.
How can that be verified if it doesn't come from the manufacturer?
That's not worth the annoyance, but that's still made up in the paid version by the forced updates in Windows 7 and beyond.
Tech team: Hey guys we made a great OS that works on any platform! TVs, cellphones, laptops, PCs, tablets, thin clients!
Marketing: OK now add spyware to it, bloat it to unusability, and also you have to train Pajeet who is your sub-minimum wage replacement. :^)
Because it does come from the manufacture, stupid idiot, Microsoft for the longest time let you download a stock unlicensed Windows 7 ISO from their servers. Today you can still download unlicensed Windows 8 ISOs from them using the Windows 8 USB tool. Then you just unlock them with Microsoft Toolkit or Das Loader
Alright.
I actually kind of want to upgrade back to Win 7
I prefer win10's UI for the most part, but holy shit the amount of spying it does, and there's even less control over shit in my computer than before.
I don't like it. I want to use linux, but I STILL can't run games on linux without a whole slew of hacks or having to dual boot into windows.
...
Windows 8 had a $10 upgrade offer. $20 with media. So there's that.
Use a hypervisor and run both concurrently. It also makes it easier to track the network traffic coming from the windows box.
Also if your a student in most schools you get a free copy of windows 10 enterprise (rebranded as 'educational').
If you claim to be a student you can get a free copy of windows server 2016 (actually three copies) from imagine.microsoft.com your just not supposed to use it for commercial shit. I have used this without even needing a .edu email to register with. I think windows 2016 is kinda confy, just gotta figure out how to make it not ask why its shutting down.
I don't, but that's not something I have to worry about with Linux.
One thing I'd like to know is how many people have installed win10 only to become disgusted with it and revert back to a previous version. I know I can't be the only one, that's for sure.
Is there are bare-metal hypervisor that is open source and has a stable version? I'd like to switch over but all I'm finding with a search are paid versions or the """free""" version which is a kneecapped version of the paid version.
Also, does using a bare-metal hypervisor remove the requirement to hook the GPU you'd like to use to a specific guest? Or does the GPU you have get virtualized to the currently running OS? What are the speed implications of using a hypervisor?
who 8.1 w/ classic shell master race?
I bet you were one of these people that didn't install Vista and used Chrome.
with you, fam. Next step is Linux whenever security updates stop in 2024! or whenever it is
I can only assume you mean VMware. Keygens are easily found. You dont have to pass a GPU through to a guest, it can use a virtual GPU (without hardware acceleration) if you'd prefer to remote control it, or pass one through if you want to play vidya or use a monitor plugged in to it. Speed implications are minimal, although as virtualization having lots of RAM is important.
And ESXi isnt open source, it only uses a handful of open source components.
although as with all virtualization products
I have experience with esxi, hyper-v and xen.
I was not able to get gpu pass-through to work on xen. Works well on esxi and you can hack it into working on hyper-v 2016. Pass-through has the best performance but it is also one to one gpu to vm, in theory you should be able to detach and move the gpu live but I have never gotten this to work.
For accelerated vgpu's on esxi you need either an NVIDIA GRID or and AMD FIRE PRO, these cards cost easely 4x the price of a consumer grade card and the price does not drop as the cards become obsolete.
Microsoft Hyper-V can do "RemoteFX" and it works with any, even consumer grade cards that support dx12 (dx11 for older versions of Hyper-V), but only the server versions of Hyper-V, the pro versions of windows comes with hyper-v but Microsoft gimps it to disable remotefx because they are kikes. Hyper-V server is free (as in beer) to everyone but has a very limited gui.
I prefer to run a normal windows server version and add the Hyper-V role but getting usb pass through is a bitch in normal hyper-v which is totally retarded because we know they have it working well in multipoint. Which brings me to multi point server roll, the best of all worlds (if you can look past its proprietary nature). It passes through usb like a dream (but each 'station' needs its own usb hub) and it works well with remotefx running off a dedicated gpu and displays directly from monitors plugged into the embedded gpu.
ESXi has never supported this.
You do know that Microsoft fakes these reports right?
You can download (or you could) the ISO right off of Microsoft website for free. All you need is a way to activate it.
Believe it's 2023. Linux is my long term goal too, I'm trying to use it more over Windows when I can.
Shitskins shouldn't be allowed near computers.
let me guess, you were too retarded to google win7's release date and just thought it magically started at ~15% install base.
Nigger, put this infohash into Tixati (or your favorite modern Torrent client):
66817A94A70EE41BF7B0782CAF5E621F109BE18C
Make sure you get this ISO, exclude the rest to save space or not:
en_windows_server_2016_x64_dvd_9327751.iso
Windows Server 2016 Datacenter because
When it finishes, make sure its SHA256 is:
4caeb24b661fcede81cd90661aec31aa69753bf49a5ac247253dd021bc1b5cbb
If it's anything different, it's not a Microsoft-released ISO for "9327751."
You don't have to get Server 2016 Datacenter. Windows is the same Windows pretty much under the hood between Windows 10 Home up to Server 2016 Datacenter. The difference is a few switches and toggles Microsoft has with the license system, which limits your hardware, concurrent SMB connections, ability to remotely log into your computer WITHOUT kicking your sister/wife off the console, etc.
You can refer to this list for ISO filenames. Also with them are their hashes. So long as your downloaded ISO's hash matches the list, you're not going to pwn yourself in the butt with some cheeky-chink's hyper-malware:

As for Windows Product Activation, I suggest this:
Stick strictly to Windows Server 20, or Windows *Enterprise Edition* (or Professional). You need to stick with editions which act as KMS clients.
To activate KMS client editions of Windows, seek out a FOSS-licensed KMS emulator called vlmcsd. Make a Hyper-V or VirtualBox VM for the vlmcsd floppy image. Make your router give that MAC the same IP. Google how to add a SRV record for _vlmcs._tcp to your router's DNS (or to your DNS server) that points to this VM. Keep this VM running. Any KMS-activated Microsoft product, be it Office or Windows, will activate against the VM automatically if you configure DNS.
If you can't configure DNS for the automagic, you can use slmgr to set the KMS server in Windows, and ospp.vbs to set it in Office.
Enjoy!
*Stick strictly to Windows Server 20xx, or Windows xx *Enterprise Edition* (or Professional). ...
*Windows Server 2016 Datacenter because if you're going to pirate Windows, you may as well pirate the most superior edition available.
Not my day today apparently.
More like the one with the most bloat.
Most normalfags in my life don't want anything to do with windows 10 specifically because of the spyware.
Most people don't like being spied on. Hell I'd dare to say most people who use Windows 10 went through and shut off all the telemetry. Granted it doesnt disable all the spying but it's not exactly giving them the bevvy of data they hoped for
The better business bureau would have a fucking field day with them if they tried to pull something like that. The BBB are very bored people and they love open shut cases like that.
That would be Windows 10 Home Edition.
Not to mention they just agreed to give users better options in "privacy controls" only to avoid being taken to court by the Swiss.
Windows 10 is pure cancer and Windows 7 is the lesser evil. I will try to hold out for as long as I can but I know eventually they will pull out every stop to force users to use their spyware.
Military on civilian, man on man action sounds hot as fuck. Would you mind posting the vid of him slamming it in your ass?
>>>Holla Forums
Just buy another hdd.
Wait, I thought the business edition of Binbows 10 would be able to shut off all botnet features. What company would install such shit on their machines. You develop some new technology and microshit steals your ideas because botnet on all your development stations.
tfw still use xp on a few computers
tfw still get updates for it using a meme reg hack
tfw win 7 is gonna be officially supported for YEARS, we will have ddr5 by the time win7 isnt supported officially
linux is just gonna take over everything anyway
On Windows 2000 and XP? Yes, I saw that hack the other day.
