Wininsider reports that Windows 7 has beaten sales expectations on its initial release with almost $20 billion quarterly revenue and a record quantity of unit sales.

With a boost from the release of Windows 7, Microsoft on Thursday said that its quarterly revenue topped $19 billion as the company sold a record number of copies of its operating system.
The software maker said it earned $6.66 billion, or 74 cents per share, on revenue of $19.02 billion for the three-month period that ended December 31. Those results included revenue deferred from the prior quarter, as the company was preparing for Windows 7 and offering free upgrades to those who bought Windows Vista-based computers. Excluding the deferred revenue, Microsoft said it had revenue of $17.31 billion, and diluted earnings per share would have totaled 60 cents per share.

Windows 7 has become Microsoft’s Vista buster, figures have shown. WinInsider reports:

Windows 7 hit another milestone this past weekend, with the operating system accounting for 1 in 10 computers accessing the Web, according to Net Applications.
Market share for a new Windows release often peaks on a weekend day, when consumer use is highest, then trends down again when the work week begins. Nonetheless, Windows 7 use has been trending quickly upward.
In less than a month on the market, Windows 7 had reached the 4 percent milestone–a level it took Windows Vista some seven months to reach. Windows 7 was launched on October 22.
