Windows 7 has sold almost 90 million copies

Windows 7 has been a great success for Microsoft especially after the failure of Windows Vista. Windows 7 was released last october and within 3 months of its launch, it managed to capture almost 10% of the operating system market share.

During the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, Microsoft’s Cheif Financial Officer, Peter Klien revealed that 90 million Windows 7 licenses have been sold to date, making it the fastest selling operating system in history.

Peter Klien also said,

“We’re humbled and excited that people are responding so positively to Windows 7 – our customers have made it the fastest selling operating system in history.”

Rumour is that Microsoft is working on Windows 7 Service Pack 1 which is expected to release in September 2010.
