Microsoft just reported its quarterly earnings, and things are looking pretty good. The official Windows Blog reports that Windows 7 has hit 175 million licenses sold, which adds up to more than 7 copies EVERY SECOND since release. Wow! Looking at the overall picture, that means 16% of the world's personal computers are now running Windows 7 (and maybe more, if you account for illegal copies).
Microsoft is also excited that businesses -- the one market where Windows still thoroughly blows Apple away -- are buying new computers (and thus new Windows licenses) at a faster rate than ever. MS posted double-digit growth in business license sales this quarter.
I don't want to bring IE6 into this, but all these Windows 7 sales in the corporate world must mean an upgrade to the IE8 that comes with Windows 7, right? I sure hope so!
