You seem to miss the point. Just because something is considered 'new' technology does not make it better. Reliability, compatibility and stability are essential in a business. If we are to invest heavily in developing custom in house software to run on Windows we cannot go in knowing that effort will be obsolete and 'left behind' in 10 years or maybe less and require a complete rewrite.
There in nothing new with Win 10. It's simply keeping up with the times. A few years ago there was no digital photography, no videos. Now everybody is into it, same with streaming music, movies etc.
Everything computer related is evolving faster and faster. The operating system must keep up or everything bogs down. Nobody really knows where we will be in five years but you can be sure XP, Vista or Win7 will not be up to the task.
Like it or not it's not about you it's the other 99% that will eventually benefit. This has been argued over and over again since DOS. That's just how it is.
