Microsoft Sold 240 Million Windows 7 Licenses In 1 Year

Windows , Microsoft's ubiquitous operating system, sits firmly in place. One year after launch, licenses for the successor of Windows Vista, Windows 7 , have gone over the counter no less than 240 million times. As Microsoft points out , that makes it the fastest selling operating system in history, which is not super surprising when you consider how many were clamoring to upgrade from Vista, and XP for that matter.
