Windows 10 Now on 600 Million Active Devices (geekwire.com)

Posted by msmash on from the nothing-like-anything dept.

Windows 10 has found its way onto 600 million active devices, says CEO Satya Nadella. From a report: CEO Satya Nadella referenced the new number for the first time moments ago at the company's annual shareholders meeting. The number is up from the 500 million devices touted by Microsoft earlier this year, but it's still well short of the company's original goal of 1 billion Windows 10 devices within two to three years of its 2015 release.

    This lie gets really old. Unless you go in and pick the "update immediately without asking permission checkbox" (which doesn't exist) Windows 10 pops up a warning when updates are ready to install, when the clumsily short "active time" nears its end and there are updates ready to install, and when the time you reschedule updates to after noticing the previous warning approaches.

    The only way to have a "forced update" in the middle of the workday is to hit the "update and shut down" option when shutting down your PC to go to the watercooler or some other irrational habit.
