Microsoft Says 700M Devices Now Run Windows 10 (techcrunch.com)

Over 700 million devices run Windows 10, Microsoft announced on Monday at its Build developer conference. From a report: Almost exactly a year ago, that number stood at 500 million. In addition, the company also today noted that Office 365 now has 135 million monthly active commercial users, up from 120 million last October. Back in 2015, when Windows 10 launched, Microsoft's original goal was to hit a billion devices by 2018. It quickly became clear that this was a bit too optimistic. While Windows 10 usage clearly continues to grow at a decent speed, we're not likely to see it hit a billion users soon. In a wide-ranging interview with news outlet The Verge, Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella discusses the future of Microsoft. (He gave an interview to CNBC as well.) Onstage at Build, Nadella said "privacy is a human right."

I mean, you're a little right, Rick, but was it forced on you? Were you tricked into upgrading? I can't imagine anyone wouldn't notice though. But for the great unwashed it really didn't make much of a difference. I have a mixture on several machines and I'm pretty happy with all of them. Or at least not unhappy.
