Ever since Microsoft launched Windows 10, they have primarily been focused on getting people to upgrade their existing machines from Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10, in addition to promoting their own Surface line. The upgrade program allowed users of both operating systems to upgrade their systems to Windows 10 for free for a year. That all ended on July 29th, just a few days ago. In that year, Microsoft managed to get the Windows platform from zero Windows 10 users to 350 million monthly active users in a single year. That is a pretty astonishing number, but still not good enough for Microsoft to hit their 1 billion device monthly active user goal which has since been revised.
