Windows XP Rockets to Sales of 46 Million

Microsoft's latest Windows version, Windows XP, continues its torrid sales pace, the company told me today, with over 46 million licenses sold since the product's launch last October. This morning, at the company's annual financial analysts meeting, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates announced the milestone and noted that XP continues to form the foundation of the company's revenues each quarter.

Additionally, XP has seen unprecedented support from Microsoft's partners. There are now over 23,000 products designed specifically for Windows XP, available from over 700 partners. This is nearly three times the number of Designed for Windows logoed products that were available at XP's launch and more than twice the number of logoed applications than were available for any previous Windows version in the same timeframe.

XP is the latest version of Windows built on the NT kernel. A follow-up to XP, dubbed Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), will form the basis for upcoming Windows versions such as Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and Windows XP Media Center Edition.
