Microsoft confirms sales figures for OS since its October release
Device will act as software giant's step into the e-reader market
It’s so nice to have confidence in the products you sell. A prime example is Windows 7. It’s a dream to install, set up, use and sell. So far it looks like the best OS from Microsoft. A lot of hard lessons have been learnt in the last few years, so let’s hope it can keep up with the good work. However, a problem still exists with the lack of repair options and product keys wearing out, so there is still a bit to do to make everyone happy.
Windows 7 should give the whole channel a much needed sales boost over the Christmas period. With a good press right from the start, unlike its predecessor Vista, there are a lot of excellent opportunities with Windows 7. New users who are unfamiliar with the OS will need help, others will want to upgrade, and there will be lots of new computers to configure.
