These days are celebrating the Build 2017, one of the most important events that Microsoft celebrates and the person in charge of giving the starting gun, how could it be otherwise, has been Satya Nadella, the CEO of the company. In his opening speech he reviewed the last few months and also left interesting news, which has surprised many people.
And it is that the top leader of the Redmond-based company has confirmed that Windows 10 is already installed on 500 million devices or what is the same in half of the devices that Microsoft had set itself as a target.
Nadella did not enter to assess the figure, but without a doubt, the concern at Microsoft will surely be high. And it is that in Build 2015 those of Redmond set the goal that Windows 10 would be installed on 1.000 million devices in 2017 or 2018 at the latest. At the moment the objective is very far, making it clear in passing that the stagnation of Microsoft's new operating system is something undeniable.
This number of installations includes both installations on computers, laptops, tablets and even Lumia mobile devices, which shows that despite the success of Windows 10, It is far from what was expected, in large part because of the success that Windows 7 continues to have and because of the failure of Windows 10 Mobile that is closer to disappearance than anything else.
Now it remains to be seen if Microsoft will finally reach its goal of 1.000 billion installations of Windows 10, although at the moment everything points to not.
Do you think we'll see Windows 10 reach 1.000 billion installs before 2018?.
