Tuesday, March 27, 2007 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Microsoft announced news from its initial sales figures that over 20 million licenses for Windows Vista were sold in the first month of general availability. This is more than double than what Windows XP did in its release. These numbers include sales to PC manufacturers, retail stores, and upgrades.
"We are encouraged to see such a positive consumer response to Windows Vista right out of the gate," said Bill Veghte, corporate vice president of the Windows Business Group at Microsoft. "While it’s very early in the product lifecycle, we are setting a foundation for Windows Vista to become the fastest-adopted version of Windows ever. Working with our partners, we are helping our customers leverage new tools and programs to accelerate the transition and provide a great user experience."
