Windows 7 sales easily pass disappointing Vista
CommentsIt wasn’t a high bar, but Windows 7 made it. Consumer retail sales of Microsoft Corp.’s newest computer operating system topped those of Vista by 234 percent on a unit basis within the first few days of launching on Oct. 22, according to a report released Friday by the NPD Group.
The report did not include sales to businesses and large organizations. Sales of Windows 7 performing better than Vista, the previous Windows OS version, was not too surprising. The buzz for Windows 7 was relatively positive and largely void of the savage language that reviewers heaped on Vista.
