Report: Vista’s Business Sales Stronger Than Expected

Sales of Windows Vista to businesses were stronger than expected during the operating system’s debut month, according to a report from NPD Group. The sales outpaced the first month’s tally for Windows 2000 and only slightly trailed that for Windows XP, the market researcher said Thursday. Commercial revenue from Vista in December was 62.5 percent above that racked up by Windows 2000 in March 2000, its first month after launch. But Vista’s total is 3.7 percent below what Microsoft got in the commercial channel for Windows XP in November 2001, its first month on the market.
