Only 10%? So Visual Studio is about 90% useless?

I am pretty sure that Microsoft's improvements won't target keyboard-users, they'll rather include more and fancier bells and whistles.

We just got everyone moved to Windows 7; so it'll probably 3 or 4 years before we get to Windows 10.
The problem with this is being a developer; it is difficult to properly test when a user is using a new OS with a new browser. An example is we still have 2003 Windows Servers and IIS doesn't recognize IE browsers above IE9; so certain things don't work.

IIS doesn't care about browser versions; do you mean ASP.NET?
Microsoft released hotfixes for .NET 2.0, 3.5 and 4.0 on all OSs a few years back which should resolve the issue:
Alternatively, you can set Page.ClientTarget = "uplevel" in or before the Init event to tell ASP.NET to assume that the browser supports everything it cares about.

Yes, Scott Hanselman's blog pretty much explains the problem. The __doPostBack doesn't work for Windows 8 and IE10+. The problem arose when people started getting new computers. The server is 2003, all the code is legacy, updates weren't kept up, there's no redundency, and the environment is mission critical. I didn't realize that there were some hotfixes. The hotfixes you listed looks like they'll fix the problem. I'm scared to do anything with it until my new environment is ready and migrated.
Thanks for the reply and good information.

Whoever wrote that article appears to have truly unique way to spell "years".
Slightly less sarcastically, anyone who's putting enterprise Windows adoption into the same article as the 1 year free upgrade Window without giving any indication of being aware that that upgrade program is only for consumer versions of the OS; not volume licensing has less credibility than a politician.

It does apply to Windows Pro (unless you count that as a consumer version?). But I expect there will be plenty of small businesses who are running Windows 7/8.1 Pro, and not volume licensing, and they will be eligible.

I do. You can go out to the store and buy a copy. That makes it a consumer version. You can't get Windows Enterprise/Education without signing a support contract. Those're business versions.

We'll wait for, at least, Windows 10.1 to be released.

Developers will be able to have their apps talk to the locally installed antivirus programs through a new API. "I have completed long range scans. There are no other life forms are present in this system."

Knowing how the AV's work I don't see how it can do much better than what they do now.
