100 million Windows 8 licenses has been sold so far. The Windows blog posted a Q&A session with Tami Reller, Microsoft's Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Brandon LeBlanc: It’s been several months since we announced that 60 million licenses of Windows 8 had been soldsince general availability. Where are we now?Windows 8 sales reached 100 million licenses
Tami Reller:We recently surpassed the 100 million licenses sold mark for Windows 8. This number includes Windows licenses that ship on a new tablet or PC, as well as upgrades to Windows 8. This is up from the 60 million license number we provided in January. We’ve also seen the number of certified devices for Windows 8 and Window RT grow to 2,400 devices, and we’re seeing more and more touch devices in the mix.
As we talked about in our last Q&A, Windows 8 is a big, ambitious change. While we realize that change takes time, we feel good about the progress since launch, including what we’ve been able to accomplish with the ecosystem and customer reaction to the new PCs and tablets that are available now or will soon come to market.
