Say what you like about Windows Vista, how you'd never install it on your box, how it's too expensive, too bloated or too under-supported to succeed in the marketplace. Rant and rave and wave your Linux flag, or Windows XP flag, or heck even your old BeOS flag if you've still got it. Because, according to Bill Gates' speech at WinHEC yesterday, the naysayers don't appear to matter. In the first 100 days of Windows Vista's general availability, Microsoft sold over 40 million licenses (1 license = 1 install typically) for the new OS.
Of the 40 million sold, roughly 78%, or around 31 million, were Home Premium licenses.
Currently, Windows Vista accounts for nearly 14% of WinCustomize's weekly traffic.
