Windows 10 is running on 75 million pcs after only one month

Windows 10

The windows 10 operating system is now a buzzword in the world. 75 million users have downloaded Windows 10 to
their personal computers and tablets in the first month of its release, Windows corporate VP Yusuf Mehdi tweeted on wednesday.

 Among his other Windows 10 bragging points:

• It has been downloaded in 192 countries.
• 90,000 unique PC or tablet models have upgraded to Windows 10.
• over 122 years of gameplay have been streaming to Windows 10 PCs from Xbox One consoles.
• The Cortana intelligent assistant in Windows 10 has told more than half a million jokes in response to the prompt, “Tell me a joke.”
• The Windows Store for Windows 10 has seen six times more application downloads per device than for the previous operating system, Windows 8.

That last three points are likely yet another big reason Microsoft chose to make Windows 10 a free upgrade. Microsoft worked hard to promote the Windows 8 app store, but it never managed to land a killer app (and in many cases, Windows 8 apps were simply worse than their iOS and Android counterparts). Developers waited until people actually started using Windows 8 apps, but that never really happened because there weren't many to choose from. But with Windows 10, there's an influx of new users eager to try out newer apps, and Microsoft has also made it easier for devs to bring over iOS and Android apps.
