Windows Vista Debuts with Strong Global SalesInitial sales figures from Microsoft show its new operating system Windows Vista made a splash in its debut. In the first month of Windows Vista’s general availability, sales exceeded 20 million licenses, more than doubling the initial pace of sales for its predecessor, Windows XP. These initial figures reflect the broad interest in the security and usability enhancements in Windows Vista.
We are encouraged to see such a positive consumer response to Windows Vista right out of the gate. -
