Just over a year after its launch, Microsoft's next-generation operating system will account for more than 50 percent of all software it ships for business users, according to IDC.
According to IDC, in 2010, Windows 7 product key will account for 49.5% of the Windows operating system sold to the business, equivalent to nearly 58 versions. That's far ahead of Vista - only 15 percent of software that Microsoft plans to ship next year, or 18 million.
Windows 7 is the best-selling item on the Amazon sales page with a steady increase in people's purchasing power.
Windows Vista will soon be dead, as the old Windows XP product key will still make up nearly 35% of the total, or 41 million, in 2010, although this is also the time when the operating system - released in late 2001. - will expire.
In 2011, Windows 7 accounted for nearly 75% of the software sold, while Vista's sales were down 5%.
As predicted by IDC, in 2012, Vista operating system will disappear completely in the minds of users, while XP will still reach 15 million units and in 2013 will reach 8.4 million. There will be a lot of people buying Windows 7 to downgrade to XP under Microsoft's Software Assurance program.
The company estimates that Windows 7 will account for 95 percent of Microsoft's operating system sales for the next four years, up from 90 percent in 2012.
Microsoft office 2013 product key is expected to transfer Windows 7 software to computer makers next week. And the final version will be released on October 22nd.
