Thread Content

Various research organizations provide figures on how many times Windows 10 in its official version has been downloaded, as well as on how many people are using Windows 10. However, the installation volume and global share of Win10 remain a mystery. Microsoft previously announced that within 24 hours, the number of Win10 installations exceeded 14 million; currently, the estimate is between 50 and 67 million installations, but GoSquared in the UK has a different opinion. http://www.66868.com/uploads/allimg/150825/1J9336312-0.jpg The British data analysis company GoSquared has released a tool for tracking the real-time installation numbers of Win10; it’s difficult to determine accurate figures on that page, but fortunately GoSquared provides some interesting insights. So what is the share of Window10 exactly? At the time of publication of this article, real-time screenshots showed that Win10 accounted for 11% of all Windows devices. http://www.66868.com/uploads/allimg/150825/1J933Ba-1.jpg As mentioned above, the figures change in real time, and there can be significant fluctuations; for example, they might jump directly from 10% to 13%, only to drop again. By looking at the data table provided by GoSquared, it is possible to see the trend in the usage rate of Win10, and this trend is clear: it is increasing steadily. After the official release of Win10, its usage reached a peak on August 8, at around 15%. http://www.66868.com/uploads/allimg/150825/1J9336008-2.jpg GoSquared admits that this data cannot guarantee 100% accuracy, but it is certain that the upward trend in the number of Win10 installations is correct.
