One thing I didn't mention earlier, its getting yet more expensive for companies to upgrade their desktop platforms.
So they try to "hang on" longer with their older versions. In return MSFT jacks up the support agreement costs for any one who tries to go past the extended support dates.
This in turn forces companies to compare MSFT extended support costs vs the cost to upgrade.
There has been some grumbling under the covers about some large firms assessment of the costs to migrate to Windows 10. Many Enterprise licensees were still on Windows 7 which goes away in 2020. With patching and threat remediation costs increasing significantly as well, people are starting to reconsider their spends.
