Confusion to the enemy,

When Microsoft launched Windows 10 in 2015, the company made no secret of its aspirations to distribute the operating system to as many devices as possible. Early reports indicated that users were upgrading to Windows 10 in droves, but new data suggests that this shift is slowing down.

The latest report on OS usage from NetMarketShare states that 22.59 percent of computers use Windows 10 as of October. That sounds rather healthy, but it is less impressive when you take into account that its reported market share as of September was 22.53 percent.

Windows 10 only managed to make a 0.06-percent increase over the course of a calendar month. In that same span of time, the years-old Windows 7 jumped from a 48.27 percent share to a 48.38 share, according to a report from MS Power User. Obviously, being beaten out by an earlier version of the same OS is not a particularly good sign.

I'm sure there are similar reports on OS X/macOS upgrades. Got any links? I'm 'typing' on my iPhone ...

I would think that the Mac data would be characterized by a slow growth of each generation (only those who are comfortable on the bleeding edge) of MAC OS and a plateau as the market saturates to that hardware out on people's desks that will run that version.  I have nothing to run 10.12 on so I'm agnostic about ever trying it and I'm thinking I will try to roll myself back to 10.10 on the Macbook Pro this weekend from 10.11 because I'm
not going to spend my own money to upgrade it to 8 Gigs or above.
