Bill Gates has a real knack for delivering big news in a small way. The Microsoft chairman could have been ordering hamburgers when telling the WinHEC audience the company had sold close to 40 million copies of Vista.
Gates revealed the news during the opening keynote of Microsoft's annual Windows Hardware Engineering Conference, which started today.
"As of last week, we've had nearly 40 million copies sold, and so that's twice as fast as the adoption of Windows XP, the last major release that we've had," Gates said.
The sales number, for the operating system's first 100 days of broad availability, represents license sales into the channel. However, the number of Vista PCs sold is probably much less.
