Windows 7 sales are 234% more than Vista

According to NPD, in the first few days of its sale of Windows 7 in the US, Vista turned out to be more popular than almost three times, or more precisely, by 234%. As reported in the article, such a high level of sales is associated with successful marketing and low prices for pre-orders.

At the same time, profits from sales of Windows 7 compared with Vista increased by only 82%, since the price of Windows 7 is lower than Vista and the profit from each copy is lower. In addition, the most popular are the home versions of the system, the average cost. Lists the most popular versions of Windows 7:
')
1. Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade - $ 76
2. Windows 7 Pro Upgrade - $ 147
3. Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack 3 User Upgrade - $ 149

The data is calculated for October 18-24 (Windows 7 was released on October 22) and includes data on pre-orders. This data does not include OEM copies sold with computers and laptops. It is expected that the numbers in the OEM sales sector may be different due to the crisis and a less noticeable increase in sales of technology, compared with the time when Vista was launched.
