Microsoft Windows 7: Fastest selling operating system ever
Submitted by dk on August 1, 2010 – 10:16 PM2 Comments | 2 views
According to the latest report from Microsoft, 175 million Windows 7 licenses has been sold since its launch in October last year, making it the fastest selling operating system ever.
What’s more amazing is the fact that Microsoft sold 25 million licenses during the 29 days between June 23 and July 21. That’s almost 10 copies of Windows 7 sold per second!
Which also means that by the time you finish reading this short blog entry, roughly another 150 Windows 7 licenses has been sold. Scary sia.

Not surprising after the fiasco with Vista and an drawing end to XP’s service support.
It will be interesting to see how many licenses have been bought for 64-bit and 32-bit versions though.

Robert: Oh yes. I lost count on the number of companies/people who hold back their upgrade because of Vista. But it’s good that Windows 7 is able to regain consumer trust.
Speaking of which, my company is still using Windows XP. I wonder when will we upgrade.
