Windows 10 Technical Preview was officially launched in October 2014, and since then, several new builds and updates have been released, some of which were provided by Microsoft itself, while others got leaked to the web through unofficial channels.
No matter the way they got it, no less than 0.06 percent of desktop users worldwide were running Windows 10 on their computers last month, according to information provided by Net Applications.
This is the first time that Windows 10 shows up in market share statistics, so it's pretty clear that everyone is interested in this new operating system and they want to see what's new in a Windows version that's supposed to be a little bit more focused on PCs than its predecessor.
Windows 10 is available through the Windows Insider Program, and Microsoft said last year that a total of 1 million users registered for this new effort in order not only to see what was to come for the Windows OS, but also to help the company develop new features and improve the existing ones.
Obviously, this is clearly a good thing because Microsoft can thus develop a product that better tackles users' needs, but it remains to be seen how many of the customer-requested features are actually implemented in the final version of Windows 10.
According to sources close to Microsoft's plans, Windows 10 should debut in the fall of 2015, but until then, several new technical previews and testing builds for developers and consumers are expected to see daylight.
