<P>Today is <A
href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2010/jul10/07-22fy10q4earnings.mspx">earnings
day</A> and Windows continues to have a strong showing. We announced a new
milestone in Windows 7 sales - 175 million copies. This continues our record
breaking pace of <EM>more than</EM> 7 copies sold per second. And as of today –
Windows 7 is now running on more than 16% of all PCs worldwide. It's exciting to
see this kind of response from customers who have helped make Windows 7 the
fastest selling operating system in history. We are also seeing some strong
momentum with businesses for Windows 7. The PC “refresh cycle” for businesses
has accelerated and we recorded the second straight quarter of double digital
business license growth. And with Internet Explorer, IE8 is now the <A
href="http://windowsteamblog.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2010/07/01/net-applications-share-update-for-june.aspx">fastest
growing</A> and most popular web browser in the market and we have IE9
coming!</P>
<P>This strong momentum isn't limited to Microsoft - in fact we're seeing
strong growth across the tech industry. Last week <A
href="http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2010/07/16/idc-pc-rebound-continues-with-growth-over-22-despite-mixed-economic-outlook.aspx">we
highlighted</A> a <A
href="http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?sessionId=&containerId=prUS22421910">recent
IDC press release</A> that illustrated the growth of the global PC market - more
than 22.4% year-over-year for the second quarter of 2010. <A
href="http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/2010/20100713corp.htm">Intel
reported its best quarter</A> ever with second quarter revenue up 34%
year-over-year. And <A
href="http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/q2-earnings-2010jul15.aspx">AMD
reported</A> a whopping 40% growth year-over-year in its earnings release, due
to record sales of their chips for notebook computers. It's great to see this
kind of growth across the PC ecosystem and we're pleased to be part of this
growth with Windows
7.</P></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></FORM></FONT></DIV>
