Devices running Windows 10 sees huge growth: Microsoft
New Delhi, Aug 26 (
Technology giant Microsoft
on Wednesday said that over 75 million devices were running the flagship
operating system (OS) Windows 10 after a month of its release, that
goes to show that the adoption rate of the OS is nearly 414 percent.
Just a day after the launch of the new OS, the technology giant declared that 14 million devices were running Windows 10.
"More
than 75 million devices running Windows 10 and growing every day,"
Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice-president of Microsoft's Windows and devices
Group, tweeted.
Microsoft also said that Windows 10 has seen
more than six times the number of app downloads per device from the
Windows Store than Windows 8 did. He also said more than 90,000 unique
PC and tablet models have upgraded to Windows 10 to date.
The
Redmond-based company would be happy with the response so far, as it has
been betting big on the new version of Windows. It was losing its
pre-eminent position with the launch of Windows 8 and 8.1, that some
critics had panned.
