Microsoft Corp.’s Windows 7 has outsold by two times any previous version of the operating system in the same length of time, Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said.
Speaking at the Redmond, Wash., company’s annual shareholder meeting, Mr. Ballmer described the reception to Windows 7 as “fantastic” in the nearly one month since it went on sale.
A company spokeswoman confirmed that the sales figures Mr. Ballmer cited include both boxed copies of Windows 7 and the copies it sells to PC makers for inclusion on their systems.
