In April 2015, Terry Myerson, the head of Windows, made a confident prediction that Windows 10 would be installed on one billion devices within “two to three years.” This operating system was specifically designed to address the issues caused by Windows 8 and to reverse Microsoft’s declining PC sales.

I discussed this ambitious goal in my book “Programming Windows: One Billion (Premium).” This achievement would not only be a testament to the success of Windows 10 but also a remarkable milestone for Microsoft.
