Windows Vista passes 88 million sales
Operating system backbone of Microsoft’s biggest growth in almost a decade
By James Stables on 29 October 2007
Sales of Windows Vista are reported to have rocketed past the 88 million mark, as Microsoft celebrate their highest growth since 1999.
Despite criticism of the uptake of Windows Vista, a Microsoft spokesman said demand was healthy in both corporate and consumer environments.
“Customer demand for Windows Vista this quarter continued to build with double-digit growth in multi-year agreements by businesses and with the vast majority of consumers purchasing premium editions,” said Kevin Johnson, president of the Platform and Services Division at Microsoft.
Strong sales of Halo 3, Microsoft Office 2007 and the price cut of the coveted Xbox 360 also set up Microsoft for a bumper year.
