Microsoft says it has now sold 180 million Vista licences.
(It did not report how many of those licences may have been "downgraded" to Windows XP by corporate users.)
The Windows Vista operating system has been plagued with glitches and incompatibilities, and many Windows XP users are refusing to upgrade to the OS.
The news came when Microsoft's CFO Chris Liddel announced that the company has topped US$60 billion in yearly revenue for the first time in its history.

Onuora Amobi said: Not surprising Despite all the negative press Windows Vista is still a very solid operating system and Windows XP will soon be replacedPeople who think that they will skip Vista and go straight to windows 7 are delusional It has taken 2 years for people to begin to trust Vista SP1 and then just barelyAt that pace windows 7 SP1 will be out by 2012 See if you can wait that long with XPOnuora Amobiwindows-vista-updatecom

geeby said: with computer shops selling computers like superstores sell bread is it surprising the vast majority of these so called sales were on new computers preinstalled even if the buyer did not want it a small percentage in comparison are upgrades and very few full software sales there has never been a better time to buy a PC or laptop so much choice and cheap as chips well almost isnt it obvious that with computer sales being many times greater than just a few years ago that this should be so
