Windows 10 Running On More Than 110 Million Devices

It seems that Microsoft hit all the right notes yesterday.

The much successful Surface and Surface Pro devices are all set to be fused with the mobile phones from the house of Microsoft, the Microsoft Mobiles powered “Lumia” series of devices.

Microsoft’s new Edge browser has been largely ignored by USA users of Windows 10, an online measurement company said Monday.

Microsoft is aiming to have Windows 10 installed on 1 billion devices in the next couple of years, so it still has a few progress to make. Though, the giant later also unveiled its two flagship phones, Lumia 950 along with its phablet variant Lumia 950XL. The age of the smartphone is just beginning.

HP is likely to unveil a Star-Wars themed Windows 10 device. It is also an ARM PC of course, like Windows RT, so will not run x86 applications.

In today’s Microsoft October 2015 Event, the presentation showed the seamless integration between phone and desktop via the Display Dock and universal apps. The introduction of Netflix, CBS, and Twitter as the universal apps is also a welcome addition.

The company called the feature “insane” on stage at the New York City press event, but after taking it for a test drive I would say it’s more like a promising concept that will be moderately useful for the time being.

“However, that movement hasn’t entirely been towards Edge, with a number of users choosing Chrome instead”.

We received plenty of messages from our readers who confirmed the problems in Edge and after searching a little bit online for more information, we can confirm that indeed there appears to be a bug in the browser in this Windows 10 version. The browser has declined to 12% from analytics gathered via Quantcast. According to Google the market share of Window’s phones was not huge enough to making the apps for windows worthwhile. One of those figures wound up being mentioned repeatedly by various Microsoft executives: 110 million.

Moreover, Windows 10 provide its users safety with a high enterprise demand. After all, the browser still lacks support for extensions, and users have complained of various functional problems or bugs that has led to articles such as “Here’s how to fix 17 common problems with Microsoft Edge”. Microsoft may possibly swap Edge as the device’s default browser.

Still, the numbers aren’t looking bad and even growing at a third the pace a couple months post-launch isn’t a bad outcome for Microsoft from a historical perspective.
