This is a great strategy on the company's part to speed up the process of achieving its 1-billion-devices goal, a plan which is already in motion and can be accomplished by the 2018 deadline if Windows 10 continues to grow at this pace.

Microsoft's planning to improve several key features of Windows 10 with the upcoming Anniversary Update coming in the summer, and one of them is the Action Center.

The update will also bring together the Xbox and Windows game stores to better support things like universal apps, cross-buy, and multi-platform bundles.

One of the partners is NASA, which uses HoloLens to help users move about as if they were on Mars and figure out where they want the Rover vehicle to go. "At Microsoft, we call this Conversations-as-a-Platform, and it builds on and extends the power of the Microsoft Azure, Office 365 and Windows platforms to empower developers everywhere", Nadella said.

Microsoft shares were up 0.4% to above 55 in afternoon trading on the stock market today, approaching their all-time high of 56.85, reached on December 29.
