The operating system was launched on 22 October 2009 and has gone on to sell more than 100 million licences - making it the fastest-selling Windows OS in history according to Microsoft."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1272829481.usr10.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>Pretty impressive, I've seen a lot of IT departments implement this upgrade much faster than they normally put in OS upgrades. I upgraded my Vista machine the first week Windows 7 came out. But, I still have 3 portables running XP. I'd bet there would have been even higher penetration and faster adoption if a better upgrade path had been offered for netbooks.</p>
