Secondly, there's only one month left before the Windows 10 free upgrade offer ends. After that date, it will cost $119 (Â£89). In a phone call with the BBC, head of Windows Yusuf Mehdi said more than 350 million devices were now being powered by Windows 10. It has undoubtedly been a strong first year. Aside from the backlash from some users who felt Windows 10 was being forced upon them, the operating system is generally regarded as a welcome return to form for the company that still powers the vast majority of the world's desktop and laptop computers. "Customer satisfaction is at an all time high," Mr Mehdi told me. "We've had over 135 billion hours of usage since the launch." He'll be hoping to convince many more users to take advantage of the free update before the deadline hits. The lofty goal, set out by Microsoft 12 months ago, is to achieve more than a billion devices running Windows 10 within the next two years. When Windows 10 was launched, the big news was that it would be made available as a free upgrade for Windows 7 or 8 users, on any device with hardware capable of running it. At a time when Microsoft was well and truly left behind by the smartphone boom, the Windows 10 strategy, put into action by the then-new chief executive Satya Nadella, was certainly a bold move. A year on, we're starting to be able to look at whether Mr Nadella made the right call. "Despite progress towards the one billion goal, Microsoft faces the reality that consumer engagement is far greater on mobile than PC or tablet and this continues to be a significant disadvantage," said Geoff Blaber from CCS Insight. Mr Blaber suggests Microsoft is already well down a path that has it placed as a company now almost entirely focused on businesses rather than general consumers. "Over 300 million devices is solid progress for Windows 10 and Microsoft has successfully turned the tide of public opinion in the wake of Windows 8," he said. "Nonetheless, Microsoft's future is moving towards a far greater focus on enterprise than consumer. "Microsoft is successfully transforming Windows into a service and creating the platform for a future that's likely to be more about enterprise services, cloud and artificial intelligence than consumer computing." When I interviewed Mr Nadella last year, I put it to him that people had historically only used Windows begrudgingly. It was the operating system at school, at work, and on the only computer you could afford. It was the only comment that had the usually ice-cool Mr Nadella a little riled. With Windows 10, he insisted, people would come to not just need Windows, but want it. Perhaps even love it. The usage statistics show Microsoft has done well in getting people on Windows 10. But to what end? The company is still
summary: It's almost a year since Microsoft launched Windows 10 - which means two things.
