Windows on 1 billion computers, do this include the ones that do not work.


Highlighting that the spread of Windows (as a whole) across developing nations will see approximately 1 billion computer systems running with Microsoft’s long-standing OS before the close of 2008,  Some 68 percent of users had opted for premium editions of Windows over the last 12 months. That figure marked a 16 percent increase against 2006’s performance.

According to Microsoft, combined sales of both XP and Vista have contributed to the American software giant surpassing $50 billion USD in annual revenue for the very first time in its history. Of that figure, the two current operating systems offered up some $15 billion USD between them, a 14 percent increase over the 2006 fiscal year.

However, although Microsoft is keen to point out its total fiscal performance and highlight ‘shipped’ unit figures (not sales), recent comments from Gianfranco Lanci, the president of Taiwan-based Acer, indicate that many business customers are still opting for XP over Vista on their orders. Lanci openly criticised Vista as being fraught with problems, citing that its "stability is certainly a problem," and that the "whole [PC] industry is disappointed with Vista."
