【Vista之家译】微软已经售出8800万份Vista拷贝

尽管Vista在市场上遭受普通消费者和企业用户的冷遇，但是使用Windows Vista的用户不断增加。微软公司在周四公布，他们现在已经发布了8800万份Vista操作系统。

7月下旬的时候，微软称他们已经有6000万的电脑上部署了Vista。

微软在Vista的业绩上使它的股价再次走高，并且提高了今年下半年的财务预测。该公司前3季度宣布营收137.6亿美元，比去年同期增长了27%。

部分客户端的部署，包括各种版本的Windows，都增长的很快，这得力于Vista的市场销售。

售出的四分之三的Vista版本是premium，取代了一年前份额占到了59%的XP。

8800万份的拷贝大多包括预装在电脑上的Vista，有一部分来自包装版的Vista和网上商店销售的。

它不包括数千万的公司用户。因为许多企业用户推迟部署Vista，他们在等待明年第一季度Service Pack 1的到来，不过，最近已经被授权使用Vista的企业用户，上涨了27%。

Microsoft: 88 million copies of Vista shipped
 Despite underwhelming consumers and being snubbed by enterprises, Windows Vista's numbers keep growing, with Microsoft Corp. saying Thursday that it has now shipped 88 million copies of the operating system.

In late July, Microsoft said it had hit the 60 million shipment mark with Vista.

Microsoft had previously said that it had shipped 20 million copies of Vista in its first month and 40 million copies of Vista in the first 100 days.

Microsoft credited Vista with helping it beat Wall Street expectations and raise financial projections for the rest of the year. The company reported revenue of $13.76 billion for the first quarter ended Sept. 30, up 27% from the same quarter in 2006.

Revenue in its client segment, which includes all consumer versions of Windows, was $4.14 billion, edging out the $4.11 billion in revenue from the Microsoft Business Division where Office is produced.

Client revenues, however, did not top those of the first calendar quarter this year, when Vista was officially launched. Revenues at that time were $5.32 billion.

Three-quarters of the copies sold of Vista were higher-priced 'premium' versions, compared to 59% of the copies of Windows -- primarily XP -- available a year ago.

The 88 million figure mostly includes Vista-installed PCs bought by consumers and small businesses, as well as packaged copies of Vista sold in stores or online.

It does exclude the tens of millions of Windows corporate volume licenses. There, many enterprises continue to hold off on deploying Vista, acknowledged CFO Chris Liddell, though he expects them to start deploying it when Vista Service Pack 1's arrival in the first quarter of next year.

Nevertheless, revenue from companies renewing their volume licenses for Windows, which gives them the right to upgrade to Vista, was up 27%.
