Windows 7 hits 240 million licenses and 17 percent of the global OS stats

Today Microsoft the world leader of operating system development unveiled some numbers and reported on its website that Windows 7 has sold over 240 million licenses since the operating system started one year ago , 93 percent of new consumer PCs were running Windows 7 in September, and Windows 7 gained more than 17 percent of the global operating system share worldwide, and yep I can confirm that these numbers are right as I can see here where I breath .

“I think Windows 7 has exceeded expectations,” said Gavriella Schuster, general manager of Windows Product Management. “People from the very beginning have had an optimistic forecast. I actually felt in the beginning we needed to temper expectations a bit… but a year later, we’re on track. We’re right where we thought we would be. It’s been a good year – it’s a year to celebrate.”
