It was the same at a Mercedes-Benz bodywork repair centre I visited today - WinXP running on their core system.
mixture and other techie geeks, the simple fact (as
mad_jock has explained very well) is that the day-to-day user who simply does a little e-mailing, web-surfing and who cannot afford to throw away sound equipment has no idea about Micro$oft's decision. Those who perhaps do then take one look at the Windows 8.1, 8.1 update, 8.2 chaos and Windows 8.1 support nonsense and throw their hands up in confusion.
As has been said, how many other companies are prepared to abuse their dominant market position in such an obscene manner? M$ really seem hell-bent on handing their non-geek customers over to Apple....
