Microsoft is taking huge advantage in the market for operating systems. Although alternatives such as Linux or Mac OS X users have gained more recent times, Windows is still king, by far. Surprising news comes from Microsoft, it is reported to have sold over 100 million licenses of Windows 7 around the world. That is an impressive figure as it represents around 10% of all computers on the planet with Windows 7 as the primary operating system. And in the end things have gone well for Microsoft Windows Vista who saw a flop but which were good things served to make way for the successor to Windows XP, at least in popularity.

After six months of launching Windows 7 (launched on October 22, 2009), Microsoft has made a profit close to 14 billion dollars ($ 14.000 million) recorded until March 31, 2010 which is no doubt a successful product after several slips that left many angry users.

Microsoft still can do many things well, and has been demonstrated. Regardless of the fans and haters of Windows, the shareholders of the company based in the state of Washington must be more than happy.
