    As the title says, the same results from 12:05 AM EST and just run now. It has been bouncing back and fourth.

    Within minutes this morning I am again getting the varied results. Not too sure what gives but it is hard to say growth of W10 has stagnated when the numbers are so inconsistent.

    That Free trial will screw that up for a while I would think. The adoption rate is higher than Win 8, however, it's a mountain to climb to have them overcome their golden child Windows 7. I don't know how Microsoft can ignore those statistics. When a six year old OS is dominating the market and not budging, how can they not see that this is what people want. Not what Microsoft wants to force people to want. The fact that they are taking away the control panel and dumbing down all the user controlled details is abhorrent in addition to all the other garbage they've shoved down our throats.

    I just can't believe corporations would buy into this crap. Do it on home versions, sure. But offer a Pro version that gives us all the options and switches.

    The stats are bad but the variations both up and down even in the same day are bothersome. This just started happening that I can see.

    Ok definately something is up, I visited and got W10 @ 7.88% and W7 @ 51.69%, then just a page refresh gave W10 @ 8.58% W7 @ 50.69%. Another refresh and back to the first set of numbers.

    I contacted them and got an email that their servers are having issues with Octobers data.
