Microsoft reveals some impressive numbers at Computex 2015

As well as showing off a load of new Windows 10 compatible hardware during its keynote at Computex 2015, Microsoft also revealed some interesting numbers relating to the new OS, and the PC market in general.

While PC shipments and sales have definitely fallen a lot over the past few years, it’s far from game over for Windows powered devices, and things have started looking up.

According to Microsoft, there have been 600 million more PCs sold now than four years ago, and there are 96 new Windows 10 devices in the pipeline, including brand new form factors like the Quanta Compute Plug and FoxConn Kangaroo.

Microsoft says by the time Windows 10 debuts on July 29 there will be over 300 different products running the new OS.

Wondering how many Windows Insiders there currently are? Microsoft says at the latest count some 4 million people are now part of the program, trying out new builds (on PC, tablet and phone) and helping to shape the direction of the new OS. That’s quite a leap as the last time Microsoft updated its By The Numbers site, there were just 1.7 million registered Insiders.
