Microsoft has revealed that Windows 10 is now running on more than 75 million devices since its launch and that those installs cover 90,000 unique PCs and tablet model, including some that date back to the year 2007, Microsoft's corporate vice president of marketing for Windows and devices, Yusuf Mehdi, said in a series of tweets.

Mehdi also shared some other related stats:

  • In response to “tell me a joke”, Cortana has told over half a million jokes since launch

Microsoft released the Windows 10 on June 29 in 190 countries worldwide. 24 hours after the roll out Windows 10 was running on more than 14 million PCs which Microsoft touted as an "overwhelmingly positive" debut.

Windows 10 combines some of the best features from Windows 7 and 8 and adds new features including Cortana, Edge web browser, support for Universal Windows apps and Xbox game streaming. It also allows for voice, pen and gesture input, and in some cases biometric identification for improved security.
