Here are some facts of Windows 7 that I got from my contact at Microsoft.
Windows 7 has been sold for more than 240 millions licenses (that’s about more than 7.6 copies sold every second!). This makes Windows 7 the fastest selling operating system (OS) in history!
Let’s have a look at more fun facts, such as how many Windows 7 users have opened the start menu, how many applications got pinned to the taskbar, and other fun statistics.
In less than one year, Windows 7 has reached over 17 percent global market share* and as of September, Windows 7 is running on 93 percent of new consumer PCs.
