As you all know that Microsoft have already given out information regarding the total amount of Windows 7 licenses sold in 4 months time , a total of 90 million copies have already been sold by Microsoft. Now Microsoft have officially announced that they have projection in their mind about the total number of sales of Windows 7 during this calender year.
Speaking at the CeBIT Global Conference, in Hanover, Germany on March 4, 2010, Microsoft Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner revealed that the software giant aimed to sell in excess of 300 million copies of Windows 7 by the end of 2010. And the fact of the matter is that, considering Windows 7’s success on the market so far, the 300-million mark is a realist goal. After all, Microsoft has a hit on its hands, and has already sold 90 million copies of Windows 7 in the first four months since the OS was released.
“When you think about Windows 7, the most successful operating system we’ve ever released in our history. It’s the highest-quality operating system we’ve ever released in our history,” Turner said. “This year they will sell 300-plus million PCs. That’s what the forecast is. You know what, Windows will be on 300 million of those PCs this year and that’s an incredible statement to that particular product and the opportunity that we have to continue to work with customers and end users and consumers, as well as refresh the desktops for enterprises.”
Right now Windows 7 have almost 9% of total market share of operating systems which will eventually rise due to pre-installations of Windows 7 in the laptops or Desktops that will be shipped in near future.
