<p>Microsoft&#8217;s newest operating system, Windows 10, is now installed on at least 400 million devices around the world, the company said, as reported by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2dtCWpH">GameSpot sister site ZDNet</a>. The figure, which is <a href="http://ift.tt/293RQT4">up from 350 million at the end of June</a>, is accurate as of September 26.</p>
<p>It counts the number of &quot;active devices,&quot; so the figure may actually be even higher. An active device, according to Microsoft&#8217;s wording, is one that has been active in the past 28 days. The figure counts active devices across all Windows 10 devices, including <a href="http://ift.tt/1e8dJIN">PC</a>, tablet, phone, <a href="http://ift.tt/1gvajmS">Xbox One</a>, and HoloLens.</p>

<p>At one time, Microsoft said Windows 10 was on the <a href="http://ift.tt/2doByZj">&quot;fastest growth trajectory of any version of Windows ever.&quot;</a> However, earlier this year, Microsoft said it was<a href="http://ift.tt/2amXcrJ"> scaling back its goal to get Windows 10 running on one billion devices by 2018</a>. That&#8217;s now not expected to happen until sometime later.</p>
<p>Windows executive Yusuf Mehdi mentioned recently that customer satisfaction around Windows 10 is <a href="http://ift.tt/293RQT4">&quot;higher than any previous version of Windows.&quot;</a></p>
<p>However, it&#8217;s unclear how Microsoft measured satisfaction, and not everyone has been thrilled with Microsoft&#8217;s efforts to encourage them to upgrade to Windows 10. One woman <a href="http://ift.tt/28YWCA7">sued the company over an unwanted upgrade and ended up receiving a $10,000 reward from Microsoft</a>. That was of course an extreme circumstance and far from the norm, however.</p>
<p>The Xbox One is considered a Windows 10 device as of November 2015, as <a href="http://ift.tt/1MD4YvZ">that&#8217;s when the New Xbox One Experience update introduced it as the console&#8217;s underlying OS</a>.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2dtCWpH">Go to ZDNet </a>to get the full story and all the context.</p>
<p>Microsoft offered Windows 10 as a free upgrade to select Windows 7 and Windows 8 users. This offered expired at the end of July.</p>
