The rest will be notified when the update is available for them to retrieve.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not certain why Microsoft is doing it this way except, perhaps, to reduce the load on their server farms. Still, they claim 14 million downloaded Windows 10 on the very first day. That might seem quite impressive to Mac users, but remember that there are an estimated 1.5 billion devices on which Windows is installed. The last figures for the Mac that I read about were closer to the 70-75 million range. So while Apple is growing share, there are lots of Windows users to convert before the PC era is over and it no longer matters.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Microsoft&#8217;s initial download figure isn&#8217;t really that high. I&#8217;m more interested in seeing when it hits the 100 million level.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wait!
