There's no such thing as a windows account. When installing Windows 10, you create a Microsoft account. Guess what, you can use Xbox Live with just that account! Ok, you'll have to start the Xbox Live app at least once to create a GamerTag and all. But it's still sitting in the background if you don't. I can't prove it, but I bet my ass Microsoft ist counting those people nonetheless. I mean the article even says:
"Now Xbox Live spans both Xbox One and PC, and using one social network to link both user bases is “powerful.”"
On that neat little image Windows 10 is pictured wit 500 million MAD. So that's the point where I'm lost, what the heck does MAD even mean? Tried googling it, failed miserably. But anyway, there's really no point in arguing about this. It's pretty obvious that other networks like steam have a bigger userbase and you can only get to the conclusion that Xbox Live is the biggest if you go ahead and stretch the truth to your liking. It begins right at the beginning by describing ist as "the biggest gaming social network" instead of just a gaming network.
That said, it's not like it's in any way important to have the biggest network. This is all about bragging rights and Microsoft bends the truth a whole lot for those. They even once described Windows phone as a success. =P
