Microsoft's ongoing move to reposition itself as a cloud-first/mobile-first vendor continued in 2016. But readers of "All About Microsoft" here on ZDNet remained most interested in Windows 10's rollout and futures this past year.

While it's Microsoft's commercial cloud story that many investors and analysts are watching most closely, Microsoft's moves as the Windows company are what had -- and will likely continue to have -- the most direct impact on its customers and partners in 2016 and 2017.

The most trafficked posts on my blog in the past year indicate where readers' interests are. Here are the top 20 posts for this site in calendar 2016, with the most popular listed first.

Windows 10 dominated my blog's most-read posts list in 2015, too. Interestingly, in 2016, a story with a Windows 7 angle was No. 1 again this year, as it was last year, too.

Microsoft's decision to make Windows 10 a nearly-impossible-to-refuse update via some rather underhanded tactics was, understandably, a hot topic among All About Microsoft readers.
