Microsoft Reaffirms 1.4 Billion Active Users After 'Over a Billion' Phrase Sparks Misleading Reports About Windows Losing 400 Million Users Since 2022.


The company quietly updated a blog post published last week correcting the number of Windows devices currently in use today to "over 1.4 billion," 400 million up from the "over 1 billion" it originally suggested.

It may not have lost as many as 400 million users in three years, but there a clear downtrend in market share when you look at Windows as a platform over the last decade or so. Hopefully the company understands that Windows 11 isn't the slam dunk it could be, and focuses its efforts on bringing more quality to the platform over the coming years.
