Which might simply mean that this is the approximate amount of non-Apple laptops (and desktops?) sold since Win8's launch, because most of them are now sold only with Win8 licenses [0]. Hardly a mark of success, but of MS's (doomed?) pervasiveness. [0] e.g., http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPo...
Yeah, I bought one of your licenses Microsoft. I didn't want to buy it. Given the choice I would not have bought it. And quite clearly as evidenced in my past week of Twitter I've been trying to get rid of it. Alas, to no avail...
The vast majority of these licenses were sold to OEM's, who now have to "get rid of them" in the market. So we'll see how long that takes before they ask for another bulk of licenses from Microsoft. Could be weeks or could be months. If it's months, next time they'll request much fewer licenses.
I wonder how many Windows 7 licences were sold in the same period

Win8 seems to be doing in the ballpark (if not better) than Win7 in sales.

Yes. This, along with everything else that happens in the world anywhere ever, is clearly a sign that Microsoft is doomed.
Any news on enterprise adoption of Windows 8? I assume that this will be like Vista -- many large companies won't bother upgrading. That will be a huge drag on Windows 8 adoption.
