Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is closing in on its long-stated goal to have Windows 10 installed on 1 billion devices by 2020 after hitting the 900 million mark in late September.
What's notable is the growth it's seen over the past several months. According to a Sept. 24 tweet from Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of the modern life, search and devices group at Microsoft, the company added "more new Windows 10 devices during the past 12 months than ever before."
While PCs and laptops likely accounted for much of that growth, Mehdi also credited other devices, such as the company's HoloLens ("mixed reality" headset), Xbox gaming console, and Surface Hub (a digital whiteboard).
