Microsoft: 350 Million Windows 7 Devices to Ship in 2012
Microsoft said it expects 350 million Windows 7 devices to ship by the end of 2012. This comes just a month after the company said it had sold more than 350 million Windows 7 licenses over the product’s 18-month lifetime.
Microsoft said it expects 350 million devices running Windows 7 to ship this year.
According to a Bloomberg report, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer spoke at a May 21 forum in Seoul and said shipping 350 million Windows 7 devices “makes Windows the most popular single system.” Last month, Microsoft said it had sold more than 350 million licenses of Windows 7 in the 18 months the OS had been available at the time. However, now Ballmer is reportedly claiming Microsoft will sell 350 million Windows 7 licenses in 2012 alone.
