    Poll: Why are you still using Windows 7?

    According to analytics data for tens of millions of website visits, as many as 10% of you are still running Windows 7. Rather than speculate on the reasons why, I've put together a poll. If you're still on Windows 7, please share your reasons.

    Poll results are now available. No real surprises why people are not "upgrading" to Windows 10.

    "It is not an "upgrade"!" - missing/hard to find features/settings, bad user interface, etc.

    Hardware/software compatibility issues.

    No Media Center

    Forced updates.

    Forced (buggy) updates
    I was in this category although if given the choice I would have picked more than one answer.

    That was my primary reason also. My computers need to be working and available 24/7/365. I do not get paid to test "updates" for Microsoft, I get paid to get work done. I don't have time to restore backup images or locate and uninstall bad updates. I also don't have time to download 6 GB updates on a slow internet connection for multiple systems. If they made a downloadable service pack installer that could be downloaded once and used to update multiple systems, that would be a much better alternative, but I doubt that they will ever do that again.
