Microsoft has announced that it is selling seven copies of Windows 7 every second, making it the fastest selling operating system in the company's history.
Notes Brandon LeBlanc, Microsoft's in-house Windows blogger: "Windows 7 is the fastest selling operating system in history."
The company has sold over 150 million Windows 7 licenses in the past 8 months, and LeBlanc says that 75 percent of enterprises are either deploying it or actively evaluating the operating system.
IW adds that Microsoft may still have its hands full trying to convince IT managers to move from XP Pro to Windows 7, as the memory (or nightmare some would say) of Vista is still fresh.
Vista left many concerns of application compatibility and stringent hardware requirements, and who could forget about the UAC.
Windows 7 has addressed most of those issues, however, including the implementation of XP Mode for compatibility.
