Microsoft claims Windows Vista is off to a fast start, having sold more than 20 million copies since its January 30 consumer release.
By comparison, in its first two months, Windows XP sold 17 million copies, Microsoft said.
"We are encouraged to see such a positive consumer response to Windows Vista right out of the gate," Corporate Vice President Bill Veghte said in a statement Monday. "While it's very early in the product lifecycle, we are setting a foundation for Windows Vista to become the fastest-adopted version of Windows ever."
Of course, the PC market has grown substantially since XP hit store shelves. In 2001, worldwide PC shipments totaled 136 million units, while last year the industry shipped 227 million computers, according to IDC.
