The laptop used to compose this blog post is running one of the 90 million copies of Windows 7 sold since Microsoft released its latest operating system last fall. In an entry posted to the Windows Team Blog, Brandon LeBlanc claimed that Microsoft has sold 90 million licenses to Windows 7. That’s one license for nearly a third of current U.S. population.
The announcement came courtesy of Microsoft CFO Peter Klein. While Klein was attending the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, he released the sales figures and showed off a few PC’s running the software. As LeBlanc described them:
the Sony VAIO X which is so sleek and portable it could fit inside a MacBook Air, the Dell Adamo XPS which is the thinnest PC in the world, and the HP Envy 13 which combines breakthrough industrial design with tons of power.
Windows 7 earned very solid reviews from the tech community and is clearly off to a better start than Microsoft Vista, which featured several complains of major bugs, flaws, and incompatibility issues with software and peripherals. Considering that 7 has proved to be a much better successor to XP, you’ll probably see more companies and regular consumers willing to upgrade and push those Windows 7 sales totals even higher.
