Which can be an advantage. I've been wasting a month battling a bug in the ARG library that got introduced in a Windows 10 update. If there are no updates there is less chance it will break something along the way.

>- Windows 10 is now a year old. Issues have been fixed

Errr... The anniversary update last month has been a disaster. Look it up. E.g. Millions of web cams stopped working after the update.

>- Windows 10 is more secure out of the box than Windows 7. It's likely you can get by without anti-virus

Not an issue for me as each client will have their anti virus irregardless

>- Edge browser is far superior than IE and faster and more standards compliant than Chrome

Unless you want to run activeX in your browser, which is the case in many enterprise level applications.


Enterprise environments still will wait one or more years. the latest update proves they are right. Many of them just moved from XP to 7. They won't bite the bullet yet to go to Windows 10. Preferably they'll wait until other have solved certain problems. There are no compelling reasons for any self respecting company to rush to Windows 10. Windows 7 works just fine and will be for the foreable future.

BTW, we are running a mixed environment here with Windows 7,8 and 10.
