				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey! Big new on Brandon LeBlanc&#8217;s Windows Blog for June 23. It&#8217;s entitled &#8220;<a href="http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2010/06/23/150-million-licenses-of-windows-7-sold-windows-live-betas-announced.aspx" target="_blank">150 Million Licenses of Windows 7 Sold&#8230;</a>&#8221; and goes on to make the claim that this version of Windows is &#8220;&#8230;the fastest selling operating system in history with 7 copies of Windows 7 sold every second.&#8221; Does this mean we can finally all stop moaning and groaning about Vista? Gosh, I certainly hope so, because the total and the run rate are both pretty considerable numbers.</p>
<p>LeBlanc&#8217;s blog also goes on to mention this interesting factoid as well: according to Tami Reiller&#8217;s <a href="http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2010/06/04/windows-7-still-going-strong.aspx" target="_blank">keynote </a>at the BofA/Merrill Lynch Technology Conference earlier this month, a whopping &#8220;&#8230;75% of enterprises are looking at Windows 7 for their organization.&#8221;  A recent <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5506455/are-you-satisfied-with-windows-7" target="_blank">Lifehacker study</a> on Windows 7 user satisfaction reports that 72% are absolutely satisfied with the OS, and that 22% designate themselves as &#8220;I&#8217;ve got some complaints, but overall I&#8217;m happy.&#8221; Microsoft combines these numbers to report that 94% of all Windows users are &#8220;happy&#8221; with the OS, though maybe &#8220;some kind of happy&#8221; might be a bit more on the mark. Likewise a recent Gartner study that <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/197257/pc_market_rebound_reflects_success_of_windows_7.html" target="_blank">Tom Bradley at PC World covered </a>on May 26 predicts 22% growth in global PC sales for 2010, which Bradley (and Microsoft) are more than happy to attribute not just to the global economic rebound — such as it is — but also to &#8220;&#8230;the success of Windows 7.&#8221;</p>
<p>Looks like things are looking up for Windows 7, and if you don&#8217;t have it on a desktop near you (or your own desktop, in fact) already, it should be showing up there sometime soon.</p>
