I have a hunch we're seeing the beginning of serious adoption now that it's not free any more. People either are getting it on new gear, or else they really want the upgrade to existing systems.

Either way, the inevitability of Windows 10 marches on...

Windows 10 hits 400,000,000 ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Windows 10 hasn’t been freely chosen. Windows 10 loads itself while you are asleep. Basically its date rape of your computer.

A guy who rapes passed out drunk women shouldn’t brag about his success with the women. Microsoft shouldn’t brag about their adoption rate.

Notice that they said devices. I work with a lot of computers and none of them have Win10...yet.

How can forced updates and tricking people to update make this number valid?

....and only 398 million of those coerced or “upgraded” without the hardware owners’ consent using normally illegal hacking techniques.

I just installed it on a tower connected to my living room TV.

It looks really nice I have to say.

If you burned a DVD of the OS, it still installs just fine even weeks after it is no longer “free”.

LINUX keeps getting more user-friendly - I’m just about ready to make the jump - just need to find a few more apps that I like and which run on the platform.

...350 million devices in one year is better than where previous versions of Windows were at the same point in their lifecycle, helped no doubt by Microsoft’s helpful approach of automatically downloading it and upgrading your PC without you having to bother doing this yourself.

The writer's use of sarcasm was brilliantly done!
