Microsoft sold nearly 10 copies of Windows 7 every second over the last month, according to numbers the company released Thursday.
Yesterday, Peter Klein, Microsoft’s chief financial officer, told Wall Street analysts of the latest Windows 7 milestone. “With 175 million licenses sold to date, it is the fastest selling operating system ever, and now runs on over 15% of all PCs worldwide,” Klein said during an afternoon earnings call.
A month ago, Microsoft announced that it had sold 150 million Windows 7 licenses.
By Microsoft’s numbers, the company sold 25 million licenses during the 29 days between June 23 and July 21, a pace that represents sales of 9.97 copies of Windows 7 per second.
That’s almost faster than the speed of light. -just kidding

Some people just need to be hanged for inflicting misery on the world.
I recently purchased a new, very powerful ASUS laptop running Windows 7 pro and this operating system works like a charm; it is easy to use, it has accepted everything I have thrown at it: no BSOD’s and it works and looks great. I stuck with Windows XP for almost 10 years and refused to switch to... VISTA (blech). Both of our sons are high tech programers that beta tested Windows 7 and their conclusion was it is a stable operating system that does what it is supposed to do: work. So I took the plunge after it was released (as did both of them) and all of us are very happy with Windows 7.
