Microsoft successfully sold more than 40 million copies of Windows 8 in the first month since its release. Microsoft's latest operating system fairly quickly adapted by the user.

"Windows 8 over Windows 7 upgrade to business," claims Microsoft spokesman Brandon LeBlanc through the Windows blog at that time.

The next achievement, on January 8, 2013, the figure grew to 60 million licenses. This of course adds to the optimism Microsoft on Windows 8 in the future.
