In one year, Windows 7 closing in on a quarter billion sold

Filed under: Microsoft

Cakes are nice and all, but phenomenal sales figures are even sweeter. That's what Microsoft is celebrating today.

Over at the Windows Team Blog, Brandon LeBlanc reports that Windows 7 has sold more than 240 million copies so far. That's not too shabby for just over a year on the market. The post also goes on to say that Windows 7's global market share is closing in on 20%.

While the numbers are impressive thus far, don't forget that most businesses won't be jumping on the Win7 bandwagon until SP1 is released -- which should happen early next year.

It'll be interesting to see if Windows 7 sales can keep up their current pace. What's the daily average work out to? About 630,000 or so? Dang.
