Among some of the interesting tidbits fromMicrosoft’s latest earnings callare some new numbers on the Windows front. The company’s CEO Satya Nadellareportedthat there are now 1.4 billion monthly active Windows 10 or Windows 11 devices.

The new milestone, which seems to now consist of all types of devices running modern Windows (Hololens, Xbox consoles, and also Windows 11 devices themselves,) is just a small uptick from Microsoft’s last report. Back in April 2021, the company said there were 1.3 billion monthly active Windows 10 devices. However, at that time, Windows 11 was not released and wasn’t in that figure.

Even with the uncertainty of the “Windows 11 difference” in the numbers, this hints that Windows is still key in Microsoft’s profits despite the pandemic slowing down the PC industry. Windows OEM revenue was up 25%, and Surface revenue increased 8% overall this quarter for Microsoft.

Windows 11 was released back in October of 2021, and it’ll be four months since then this February. Reports have said thatWindows 11 adoption is approaching 10%, which could be seen as quite low, but enthusiasts have shown a positive reactionto the new OS.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
