Microsoft: Windows 7 sales exceed Vista sales by 234%
Submitted by: KnightMare @ 07:36 PM | Thursday, November 5, 2009 | (url: http://windowstea...)
It has been quite amazing to watch the global excitement build around Windows 7, especially during a tough economic climate. It was just a few short weeks ago that we learned about Windows 7 outselling the UK's "own" Harry Potter. In Japan, anxious PC users waited in line to be one of the first to get their hands on Windows 7. And just today, according to the NPD groups' weekly tracking service, Windows 7 software unit sales in the U.S. increased 234% over Windows Vista's first few days of sales. "A combination of factors impacted Windows 7 PC sales at the outset, but the trajectory of overall PC sales is very strong leading into the holiday season," said Stephen Baker at NPD.

Windows business model ++
They make a super shitty OS and then "fix" everything in the next edition - so everyone WANTS to buy it because they got fucked over on original.
GENIUS I TELL YOU!

it's because W7 fucking rules, as opposed to vista which was pretty but otherwise sucked
I'm sure it has more to do with the fact that I now don't have all this HP software shit in my HP-ized Vista slowing shit down, but Win7 for me has been kick ass. I'm really digging it.

i've been using bootleg win7 on 2 different shitty underpowered computers, and it's pretty much ok
feels like vista, but faster.

Although there was Win2000 at the same time as well.
