Microsoft actually released a few details in this blog “Windows 10 Now on 300 Million Active Devices,” saying that Cortana alone has answered over 6 billion questions, and 63 billion minutes were spent on Edge (an over 50% increase since last quarter).

Nick Parker, speaker for Windows is taking the initiative to speak to over 100,000 different industry partners on June 1st, where Parker will discuss exactly how Windows 10 will change the way that people use their smartphones. Some of the features and functionalities include Windows Hello, Windows Ink, Cortana for mobile devices and tablets, as well as other features- all coming to life in new updates.
What These Changes Mean for Windows Mobile Phone and Tablet Users
The overall goal seems to be for Windows to hopefully implement changes that make using Windows more exciting, as well as providing more functionality and productivity for users, right from their smart devices. This will be more important as Windows implements more games that require higher processing needs on their smartphones, giving Windows a completely different look and feel. It will be interesting to see how Windows actively changes after these new pieces of software are initialized into devices.
There have been mixed reactions about Windows 10 since its’ release; it’s doubtful that any changes will affect these emotions.
