Microsoft says 140M Vista licenses sold
April 24, 2008 (Computerworld) Microsoft Corp. said Thursday that it has sold 140 million licenses of Windows Vista.
Colleen Healy, general manager of investor relations, made the statement during a conference call with Wall Street after posting its third-quarter earnings. The company pointed to strong PC sales for helping the much-maligned operating system achieve that number.
In its last update in January, Microsoft said it had sold 100 million licenses for Vista since the operating system’s launch in November 2006.
Healy did not offer details. But if she was being consistent with past Microsoft statements, the 140 million license figure excludes volume licenses sold to corporations. Volume licenses give corporations the right to use whatever version of Windows they want.
