Microsoft today claimed that Windows 10 powered a billion devices, a milestone the company originally said it would meet between one and a half and two and a half years ago.
“Over one billion people have chosen Windows 10 across 200 countries resulting in more than one billion active Windows 10 devices,” asserted Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president, in a March 16 post to a company blog.
The bulk of those devices were undoubtedly desktop and notebook PCs, although Microsoft also tallied Xbox game consoles, which run a version of Windows 10, as well as extremely niche devices, like the Surface Hub.
