Windows 10 entices millions in first day

That figure may have been even bigger, but Microsoft has had to rollout Windows 10 in phases to ensure that the upgrade process is as smooth as possible for everyone.

Microsoft Corporate Vice President of Windows and the Devices Group Yusuf Mehdi said that they were working 24×7 to continues the upgrade process and are prioritizing the quality of your upgrade experience over anything else.

Windows 10 is the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system software, combining what it describes as the “best elements” of Windows 7 and Windows 8. Users being able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free on hardware that will support it, regardless if they had previously installed pirated versions of Windows, will help to solidify Microsoft’s command of the market.

If you care about your computer security and privacy, it may make sense to dump XP and either switch to an alternative OS or get a new computer which can run Windows 10.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is recording rave reviews for its Windows 10 but it seems that the firm isn’t getting the OS out to users as quick as one would expect. Any thoughts on the brand new OS? Want Windows 10 to treat VLC as your default media player and Firefox as your default web browser? “However, with the launch of Windows 10 we are deeply disappointed to see Microsoft take such a dramatic step backwards”. Microsoft announced Friday that Windows 10 had been downloaded 14 million times in two days.

In case you did not know, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) released Windows 10 early this Wednesday.

Yesterday reports began popping up, saying that at its peak, Windows 10 downloads accounted for eight per cent of all internet traffic on the first day.

Microsoft aims to get Windows 10 installed on 1 billion devices over the next few years.

“We’re taking visual cues from style changes appearing in Windows 10 and we’re also reducing the overall browser UI footprint to increase space for viewing the Web”, he said.
