Comment on Microsoft: We've sold 40 million Windows 8 licenses to date

Comments

I wonder how many Windows 7 licences were sold in the same period

"How does this compare to Windows 7 sales? Microsoft said it had sold 60 million Windows 7 licenses from the end of October 2009, its launch date, to the end of January 2010 December 2009. So that's 60 million Windows 7 licenses sold in two months. So far, Microsoft has sold 40 million licenses of Windows 8 in one month."

By same period I meant since October 26 i.e. since the launch of Windows 8

The Verge reported 60million in a bit more than 2 months and 90 million in 4 months.

Win8 seems to be doing in the ballpark (if not better) than Win7 in sales.
