It looks like Microsoft is finally its goal of 1 billion active users of Windows 10. And although it took 2 years more than planned, it seems to have happened.
Indeed, these data only on the Italian version of the site, which offers free wallpapers for regular users. The page itself is "buried" quite deep in the bowels of the resource. It is not yet clear whether this is a controlled leak, a simple mistake, or a deliberate misrepresentation, but it is not particularly surprising here.
Microsoft last announced 900 million Windows 10 users in September 2019, and since then the company has dropped support for Windows 7, introduced a new Chromium-powered Edge browser, and said goodbye to its mobile OS in favor of Windows 10X.
In addition, the death of Windows Phone forced Microsoft to spend more resources on integrating Windows 10 with iOS and Android smartphones, which made it possible to popularize the "top ten". While it is difficult to say how relevant the data is, however, if it is true, then the company was able to achieve its goal.
