Microsoft reported sales of 90 million copies of Windows 7 at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference on Tuesday.
The 90-million sales figure, announced by Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein at the San Francisco-based event, represented a significant increase over a previous report. In late January, Microsoft indicated that 60 million Windows 7 licenses had been sold through the end of its fiscal second quarter.
Klein said that there was a continuing momentum for Windows 7, which he called the "fastest selling operating system in history." He made similar comments during Microsoft's 2Q announcement.
Current Windows 7 sales figures are largely from retail and consumer purchases, but Klein said that he expects enterprise purchases to surge as IT spending improves and refresh cycles take place. Consumer sales of Windows 7 were launched in October 2009.
For FY10 H1, Microsoft had overall revenues of $31.9 billion (+1 percent year over year) and operating income of $13 billion (+9 percent year over year).
