Windows 8 six months in: 100 million licenses sold, 250 million app downloads
More than 100 million copies of Windows 8 have been sold in its first six months on the market, according to a Q&A with Windows division Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Financial Officer Tami Reller.
The post confirms that the Windows Blue update will become available later in the year. Among other things, this serves as an opportunity for Microsoft to "respond to the customer feedback" that the company has no doubt been inundated with since Windows 8 was released.
The Windows 8 license count wasn't the only number mentioned. The company claims that the number of apps in the Windows Store has increased by six times since launch. There have been 250 million app downloads, and about 90 percent of all apps get downloaded each month.
