At the end of last week, Steve Ballmer (CEO of Microsoft) has met with major shareholders and Microsoft has expressed his enthusiasm about the commercial performance of Windows 7."In a comparable period of time, never a Microsoft operating system had not sold as well. On average, we sold twice as Windows 7 than any other of our OS on those recorded a few weeks" Ballmer has said, using figures and taking into account the box versions, and licenses sold with new computers, and versions updated.

In his enthusiasm, Steve Ballmer has given way to confidence which would allow the action to take Microsoft some points: "Windows 7 is the best operating system for PCs that have been developed so far, either by us or by others ". He acknowledged however that it is always possible to improve, in particular to allow Windows to be more popular with young people, quick to turn to solutions from Apple.

But Steve Ballmer said however that 96 computers sold 100 in the world relate to a PC running Windows. Ironically, Steve Ballmer finally said: "We must not rest on our success, Apple has grapille few tenths of market share (...) the economic crisis is in any way favorable to Microsoft Windows 7, people Realizing that Apple products are more expensive.
