As expected, the new version of Windows 10 1809 is released more slowly

AdDuplex reports that the reissue of the Windows 10 October 2018 update by Microsoft is much slower than previous feature updates. No surprise there: this update was a catastrophic disaster for the software giant.

"The Windows 10 October 2018 update was re-released in mid-November, but according to our data, this appears to be a very cautious publication," notes AdDuplex. "The share of the update of October 2018 is still less than 3% three weeks after a new official publication."

This is consistent with the anecdotal data we collected from readers and listeners, who virtually all indicated that they did not receive the reissue of the October 2018 update, which upgrades Windows 10 to version 1809. And this is true in all areas. : Even the latest Microsoft Surface PCs do not seem to get this update quickly.

In addition, AdDuplex is starting to see signs of life from Surface Go, which started slowly this summer. Microsoft's low price strategy seems to have an effect.

"Surface Go started slowly in the early months following its release, but it seems to have picked up steam since then. [now] fifth most popular Surface model of the month with a market share of 7.25%, "the report notes. This places the use of Surface Go in front of Surface Book, Surface Pro 6, Laptop Surface, Surface Book 2, Surface Laptop 2 and several other older models.

But Surface Pro 6 has only been on the market for a month, and it's a good start. This makes sense, since Surface Pro models, by and large, have always been Microsoft's best sellers.

"Surface Pro 6 seems to be doing pretty well from the start," says AdDuplex. "He has already crossed the 5% [usage] Mark."

If you look at all versions, Surface Pro now represents more than 72% of the Surface computers used. Surface 3 and Surface Go additives, which are smaller versions of the same form factor, exceed 87% of all Surface computers used.
