I like the question you raise here. Similarly: we learned today that there were 160M iOS devices out there. What year were there 160M Windows machines?

- Samuel_Michon 16y agoIn 1993, twelve years after the introduction of the IBM PC, there were 152 million personal computers [1]. That figure includes Macs, and many of the IBM PC compatibles were probably running only DOS or OS/2, not Windows. I'm guesstimating that the Windows platform reached an installed base of 160m around 1996. That means it took iOS 1/5 of the time to get to 160m.
