Adoption of Microsoft’s Windows 10 is slowing down after an aggressive first month, according to new data from NetMarketShare.
Thanks in large part to an expensive marketing campaign, combined with free upgrades for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 users, Windows 10 managed to seize 5.21 percent of the desktop/laptop OS market in August, the first full month of its release.
In September, however, the operating system’s market-share rose to 6.63 percent, a significant leveling-off in month-over-month gains. At this early point, Windows 10 still lags well behind Windows 7 (with 56.53 percent of the market), Windows XP (12.21 percent), and Windows 8.1 (10.72 percent), although it did manage to surpass the much-maligned Windows 8, which only has a 2.6 percent market-share

Never expected Windows 10 to level off, so fast. I guest people who don't like Windows 10 are going back to Windows 7, 8.1, and other Operating systems like Linux, Android, Chrome OS Chromebooks, iOS and Macs.
I wonder if Windows 10 could stay level, or even start declining like Windows Vista, and 8/8.1 which declined after 7 and 10 was released, and when people learned how bad they were after using Vista, and 8/8.1 for a few weeks to months.
