Windows 7 sells as hot wheat bread

Although news of interest are clearly over.

Microsoft's CFO, Peter Klein, presented the new sales figures under the Morgan Stanley Technology Media & Telecom Conference yesterday.
This writes Mary-Jo Foley in All About Microsoft blog. According to Klein's presentation, the company has until now sold more than 90 million Windows 7 licenses.

This means that Microsoft has sold an average of 15 million licenses per month since New Year, which means that the news of interest has slowed somewhat.
Windows 7 was launched on 22 October and Microsoft announced in January that the sale until the new year came to more than 60 million licenses.
This means that the sale of the operating system was on nearly 30 million copies on average in November and December last year. But sales of PCs and other IT equipment to
consumers are traditionally the highest in precisely this period. Microsoft has previously said that no other operating system has sold just as well as Windows 7 at the start.

It took almost a year before the sale of Windows Vista passed 100 million, while Windows XP sold 89 million copies in the first year it was available.
