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.
