Microsoft has said that it sold more than 20 million Windows Vista licences in the first month since the operating system’s general debut on January 30.

The world’s biggest software maker said the pace of Vista adoption is at more than twice the rate of its predecessor, Windows XP, which had sold 17 million licences after its first two months of release.
“It’s a little bit better than what we were expecting,” said Bill Mannion, a director in the Windows marketing group.

The numbers released by Microsoft follow mixed messages from the company about the pace of adoption for Windows Vista, the company’s first major operating system upgrade in more than five years.

Very cool, Microsoft are reporting that Vista license sales are doing better than XP, I suspect pc sales are helping as a lot of people buy news pcs with Vista preloaded, we’ll see how it goes, I suspect in the corporate world once the first service pack is out, businesses will start upgrading to it, many companies are recovering and settling down after a XP upgrade/roll out.
