Microsoft chief marketing officer and chief financial officer Tami Reller announced that Windows 8 has sold over 60 million licenses between upgrade licenses and new licenses sold with new PCs or Windows tablets. The Windows Store has also seen more than 250 million app downloads since launch.
A major update for Windows 8 called Windows Blue is also planned for later in 2013. “Windows Blue is a codename for an update that will be available later this year, building on the bold vision set forward with Windows 8 to deliver the next generation of tablets and PCs,” said Reller. “It will deliver the latest new innovations across an increasingly broad array of form factors of all sizes, display, battery life and performance, while creating new opportunities for our ecosystem. It will provide more options for businesses, and give consumers more options for work and play. The Windows Blue update is also an opportunity for us to respond to the customer feedback that we’ve been closely listening to since the launch of Windows 8 and Windows RT.”
