More than 75 million devices now run the Windows 10 software
Microsoft said Wednesday that Windows 10 has spread to more than 75
million devices since the new operating system was released less than a
month ago.
The US software colossus is intent on seeing the new-generation
operating system aimed at computers, mobile and other devices running
on a billion gadgets.

Windows 10 is powering more than 90,000 different computer and
tablet models, including some that date back to the year 2007,
Microsoft's corporate vice president of marketing for Windows and
devices, Yusuf Mehdi, said in a series of tweets.
More than 75 million devices now run the software, with the number
"growing every day," he said.
Some 14 million people installed the Windows 10 operating system in
the first 24 hours following its release on July 29 in what Microsoft
touted as an "overwhelmingly positive" debut.
The stakes are high for Microsoft as it pushes out the new operating
system for both traditional computers and mobile devices such as tablets
and smartphones.
The company is hoping the new system can help it gain traction in the
mobile sector, where it lags behind Google Android and Apple iOS, and
in emerging technologies for computing.

It will allow for voice, pen and gesture input, and in some cases
biometric identification for improved security.
Word of the spread of Windows 10 to devices in 192 countries came as
market tracker International Data Corporation forecast that worldwide
personal computer shipments will fall by 8.7 percent this year and
continue to slide through next year.
"Although the shortcomings of the PC business are obvious, a silver
lining is that the industry has continued to refine the more mobile
aspects of personal computers ¨C contributing to higher growth in
Convertible and Ultraslim Notebooks," said IDC senior research analyst

"The de-emphasis of touch on Windows 10 also paves the way for a
more familiar experience and continuing unit growth on large-screen
systems, particularly All-in-One PCs."
