Microsoft Claims 110M Devices Now Run Windows 10 (computerworld.com)

New submitter enterpriseITrocks writes: Computerworld reports that Windows 10 is running on 110 million devices, citing stats provided by Panos Panay, the chief of the Surface team. It's the first time since late August that Microsoft has provided usage stats for Win10 at a time when the new OS was running on 75 million machines. From the article: "Microsoft's 110 million described those running Windows 10, not downloads, the company confirmed. A spokeswoman declined to describe how the company tracks uptake, but presumably it does via Windows 10 activations, which it could easily tally from its logs."

    Hmm, devices an interesting term to use, rather than computers. So for decades M$ for licensing terms called multi-core cpu as multiple instances of a device, so is a quad core computer one device or four devices. I for one will never run Windows anal probe 10. Until they produce a secure version of windows I will not run it on any device ever.
