In a tweet today, Microsoft shares an interesting state about Windows 10 TCP. Most users testing Windows 10 are desktop users, reports Dailytech.

In a tweet by Microsoft Windows Manager/Developer, Gabriel Aul, he shows the following graph:

Build 9860 is the latest build of Windows 10 TP that was recently release, replacing Build 9841.

It shows that the majority (41%) are using a desktop, 32% of them laptops, 22% running under a VM, 2% tablet and 1% All-in-One.

This information is collected from telemetry data that Microsoft collected part of the Windows Insider program of Windows 10 preview.

How is AIO a lot different from a laptop from Windows' point of view? Lack of battery?

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

It has most desktop users, and here they ruined it by trying to make it more tablet friendly...

 

Just make a similar, but different OS (like Windows phone)....

 

Microsoft, just stick to making desktop OS'es, you aren't really good at anything else!

The numbers are understandable.

Installing another OS isn't that easy/possible with most tablets.

I was expecting the VM installs to be much higher. Although, I suppose most of the desktop/laptop installs are probably not the user's primary computer and just put it on an old/secondary machine to see how it runs on native hardware.

CPU: i7 4790K  RAM: 32 GB 2400 MHz  Motherboard: Asus Z-97 Pro  GPU: GTX 770  SSD: 256 GB Samsung 850 Pro  OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit

Of course, that's the only PC that can do some ACTUAL virtualization.

Not to mention that at least 70%-80% of the ones that used a VM were using the VM on a desktop.

 

Source: I tried W10 in a VM on my desktop (and I guess other nerds do the same thing) for about 5-10 mins. W10 is actually alright and has a decent amount of awesome features that I like.

Well, it identifies VM separately on the graph.

I think it is just logical

 

1. Windows users traditionally are desktop/laptop users.

2. Looking at the OS so far, I don't even want to install it on my Surface. They are trying to fix stuff on desktop experience, not on the tablet experience. I don't see any advantage, new features I want to try on tablet environment, Continuum isn't ready. But I bet people are very curious on what does it fix on the desktop experience.

3. Most people who use tablet, do not want to install something that has no guarantee of stability on their device. What if I hit a bug/irrecoverable crash when I really need to use it (e.g show something in a meeting). You might argue, ppl do custom ROM on Android all the time but then again, who are the primary users of Windows tablet? I would say enterprise users who either rely on guarantee of stability, or installing the OS on his own is prohibited.

 

From there, I would actually surprised if the number of tablet users are higher.

Well, it identifies VM separately on the graph.

Which is why I said what I said. The fact that the vast majority of them are desktop users and that VMs are separate on the graph means that there are more desktop users that this graph indicates.

41% isn't a majority, it's a plurality.

Semantics aside, I'm surprised it isn't higher.
