I'm assuming this didnt apply to enterprise customers? The move from xp to 7 was a big deal for IT departments everywhere. I cant imagine them moving on from 7 anytime soon.

Windows 7/8/8.1 Enterprise don't have the upgrade option. I installed Win8 Enterprise over a year ago, it's never mentioned an upgrade.

GWX is very consumer-focussed, I'd be surprised if it was even installed on enterprise Windows versions.

It's even worse for some enterprise with VL agreements like us. We have a 1 year window to get everyone on windows 10 from the release date.

Needless to say a few macs and centos boxes have made an appearance and everyone suddenly knows python.

I'm making the jump when 7.2 drops and moving to windows in a VM.

ps. I only use windows for games (which is super-important for me. I'm ready to jump entirely to Linux at a moments notice)
