Windows 7 Operating System – 100 Million Licences Sold

Microsoft [MSFT] released Windows 7 just 6 months ago on the 22nd October 2009. In those 6 months over 100 Million licences have been sold making the OS the fastest selling Windows OS in history.

100 million licences equates to the OS being installed on 1 in 10 PC’s in the world according to Silicon.com.

Revenue reported by Microsoft in the last few days for the last quarter was $14.5bn putting revenue up 28% year on year.

The OS it’s self is far better than the previous version Vista with many IT managers wanting to migrate to Windows 7 even before the first service pack is launched. By the end of this year, Microsoft believe Windows 7 will be the standard operating system for enterprises.
