Milestone time: There are one billion Windows 10 devices in the wild

No matter how much people despise it and how many updates plagued with various issues Microsoft releases, Windows 10 remains the world's most popular operating system that runs on multiple platforms, mainly desktop computers. According to last month's figures, Google Android is the leader of the global operating system market, with 38.9%, followed by Windows, with 35.29% (Windows 7 and other versions also included).
