Windows' adoption rate has been the subject of constant jabbing and shaming for Microsoft for many years now, especially with that very unfortunate Windows 8.
That's not the case this time around because Microsoft's latest desktop operating system Windows 10 is doing pretty well. In a mere two weeks since its release, it already has over 50 million users.

On July 29, Microsoft released Windows 10 in 190 countries as a free upgrade for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users, as well as new device owners.
A day later, the company reported that it already had 14 million users. NDTV Gadgets reports that Microsoft enthusiast website WinBeta says the number has climbed up to 50 million now.
To put things into perspective, a 50-million-user count is no small figure. The most popular desktop operating system, Windows 7, was released in 2009 and has 600 million users.
For Windows 8, 200 million licences has been sold as of 2014. In comparison, Apple's OS X operating system, across all its versions, was used by 80 million users as of June 2014.
