Microsoft: Four million Windows 8 upgrades so far

4.6
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has confirmed here at the BUILD 2012 developer keynote that since Friday, the official launch of Windows 8, the company has already sold four million Windows 8 software upgrades.

That's certainly not a bad start for Windows 8 but at the same time, most people will likely still stick with their current Windows OS and wait to buy a new PC to get Windows 8. On that front, Ballmer says that sales of Windows 8 products are good so far.

I'm not going to use this on any tablets, nor computers until Service Pack 1 is released.

It's too buggy at the moment, I've tried using it in the past and it's very unstable still not to mention the index searching is awful. I'm surprised it even got past testing, especially with how bad it ruins productivity. I'll stick to Gentoo Linux for the time being, with Windows 7 dual booting.
