Microsoft: 175 million Windows 7 licenses sold
“Microsoft reported a strong Q4 revenue thanks to Windows 7, and with that they announced they have sold 175 million licenses for Windows 7, the fastest selling operating system in history.
Windows 7 was released nine months ago, on October 22, 2009. The OS originally released to manufacturing one year ago. Microsoft announced that Windows 7 is the fastest selling operating system in history, selling over 175 million licenses to date. The company is projected to sell 300 million by the end of 2010.
Microsoft’s success with Windows 7 began before the product was even widely available. Released in October 2009, the operating system has received praise from consumers, businesses, and the media. In November 2009, Windows 7 managed to surpass Apple’s Snow Leopard market share in just two weeks. In early February, it was revealed that Windows 7 had reached 10% market share in just three months.”

Race the Runway 2010
WEBIT took part in a charitable event with a difference yesterday. Over 30 cars descended onto the secondary runway of Edinburgh Airport to drag-race each other! WEBIT’s driver, Rob Davidson beat his opponent in the first round of qualifications however lost in the second round. All in all, an awesome day out! Not only that but the event raised around £20,000 for St Columba’s Hospice in Edinburgh and the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow.
