How much of the windows churn over the past decade has been widely accepted as good by the users?
They only really need to get to a XP64/win7 level of win32 capability with the ability to run a recent graphics stack and they will win. They have been getting closer to the "just" works bit every year. At some point I suspect their market share will start to rise enough that application vendors start assuring their programs work properly.
At which point they could have a larger market impact than macos has had for the past 30 years.
I have been as skeptical as the parent post. You make a good point though. Getting to Windows 7 at any point this decade will give them a real shot at increasing user base. I assume most people would be happy on Windows 7 as on Windows 10 outside of becoming comfortable on Windows 10 over the past 5 yrs
