Windows 7 Officially the Fastest Selling OS in History

[Mave]

Pause for a moment and count to 10. All finished? Assuming you counted in accurate 1-second increments, Microsoft sold 70 more copies of Windows 7 by the time you finished. All tallied, the software juggernaut from Redmond has sold over 150 million license of Windows 7 to date, making it the fastest selling OS in history with 7 copies sold every second, Windows Communications Manager Brandon LeBlanc wrote in a blog post.

"Approximately 75 percent of enterprises are looking at Windows 7 for their organization, and of course people continue to be excited about the features and benefits of Windows 7, and the PCs that our partners are delivering for Windows 7," LeBlanc added.

Back in March, Microsoft said it sold 90 million copies of Windows 7 before updating that number to 100 on April 23, just two months ago. At the current pace, Microsoft is unloading more than 25 million copies of its flagship consumer OS every month and is on track to sell 300 million Windows 7 licenses by the end of 2010.

They all want to get rid of Vista.

Most likely.


I'm glad I bought Windows 7! Best OS I've ever used!

Although not the best OS I've ever POTENTIALLY used... I had Ubuntu when I was like 10, but I didn't get much out of it because I hardly knew anything about computers and that PC was not connected to the internet

Windows 7 was made more compatible for all computers.

Windows 7 was made in a better design architecture for faster performance.

Windows Vista was made for crashing =D

Windows Vista was made for crashing =D

That's odd, because my old laptop was using Vista and it never crashed once

Same here, been using it since it came out, and never had a problem. It runs fast and its reliable! Even my laptop can stay on for over 12 hours over night, and it still runs fast

They were talking about vista and you're talking about 7 I think



Guys even if you never had a problem with Vista, TONS of people did and that's a fact.

Now ask yourself if you've ever had a problem with Windows 7 either.. I'm guessing no

This thread feels sorta hypocritical reading replies such as

Since I can be quite sure you guys have complained about your Vista like almost every single person ever having used it. I must admit I never had Vista running on my desktop neither on my parents' laptops because the feedback to it was just pure negative and Vista is very hungry for memory also.

Oh I didn't read the posts properly. And I didn't have any problems with either of my computers running Vista... Vista did take a lot of memory, maybe that's why it was running slow on a lot of people's computers..
