Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer has never been too modest about Microsoft's sales numbers; in fact, throughout the Vista era he insisted that the new OS is doing great, selling better than any other Microsoft OS in history.
Now, he claims that Windows 7 is selling even better, which we're inclined to believe based on the fantastic preorder figures. Speaking at Microsoft's shareholder meeting, Ballmer said Microsoft has "already sold twice as many units as any OS in a comparable time frame."
He then delivers on the grandeur that is expected from him, saying "Windows 7 is simply the best PC operating system that we or anyone else has ever built." OK, Steve, it's good, but I don't think it's revolutionary enough to be called "the best ever".
