No, they didn’t. This community read too much into a blog post that stated “over 1 billion,” compared it against an old blog post from several years ago that stated a more precise number of “1.4 billion” and came to the hasty conclusion that they must have lost 400 million users.
Microsoft has since updated their blog post to clarify that it’s still 1.4 billion.

Lost those 400 million in 3 years no less. I know this seems like good news, but to me this is worse, because it looks like the PC market is shrinking fast in favor of mobile, and mobile is atrocious when it comes to user freedoms.
