why Akyumen Hawk and other 4k devices so important to Microsoft's plans to Microsoft widows 10 deployment...
Microsoft had bold ambitions for Windows 10. But the company now admits those sights were set too high.
When Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) launched the latest version of Windows a year ago, it boasted that 1 billion devices would run the new operating system by mid-2018.
With less than six months left in the year, the company said Friday that it's only about a third of the way there -- and that it needs at least two more years to achieve its goal.
There are currently 350 million monthly active Windows 10 devices, according to a Microsoft statement.

One billion devices was always seen as a wild goal, but given how easy Microsoft has tried to make the installation process and how much effort it put into the features, experts felt the target was achievable.
