IN LESS THAN 1 MONTHS TIME WINDOWS 10 INSTALLED IN 75 MILLION DEVICES–WITH MORE DEVICES GROWING AS EACH DAYS PASS ON–AS THE FINAL AIM BY MICROSOFT TO GAIN TRACTION INTO THE MOBILE DEVICES

Microsoft says Windows 10 has spread to more than 75 million devices since the new operating system was released less than a month ago.

The US software colossus is intent on seeing the new generation operating system aimed at computers, mobile and other devices running on a billion gadgets.

Windows 10 is powering more than 90,000 different computer and tablet models, Microsoft's corporate vice president of marketing for Windows and devices, Yusuf Mehdi, said in a series of tweets on Wednesday.

More than 75 million devices now run the software, with the number "growing every day," he said.

Some 14 million people installed the Windows 10 operating system in the first 24 hours following its release on July 29 in what Microsoft touted as an "overwhelmingly positive" debut.

The stakes are high for Microsoft as it pushes out the new operating system for both traditional computers and mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones.
