More than 20 million copies of Windows Vista were sold globally in February 2007, the first month of sales since its widespread consumer release. That is significantly more than the 17 million copies of Windows XP that were sold in the first two months following its release in October 2001, Kevin Kutz, a director in Microsoft's Windows client group, told eWeek in an interview on March 26.

I sort of suspect that there are more PC:s around now, than there were in 2001. The sales from this time last year would have been much more telling.
My guess is that the major part of the Vista sales comes from Vista bundled with new computers and very few people actually buy an upgrade. If you consider that, if there had been no Vista, these computers would have bundled with XP instead. So basically Microsoft wasted their money developing Vista.
