With the big boost in user share, Windows 10 will easily surpass the 20% mark by the end of June, as Computerworld forecast four weeks ago. Microsoft’s success can be determined by the fact that the company has been coming out with such a large number of mobile phone devices in such a short time. Meanwhile, Windows 10 Pro will set you back $199 or £130. The Redmond giant has been urging users to make the free upgrade to Windows 10 since it became available and the free upgrade option expires on June 29. Nothing major here, but when you tap the Microphone button in Cortana, there is a new animation that shows you that Cortana is listening to you as you speak. But its biometric health data could still be leveraged in some other way, and Microsoft appears intent on doing more with such user information. It’s not a flattering look for Microsoft to push Windows 10 on people so aggressively, especially when there are plenty of good reasons to stay on older versions of Windows.
