Microsoft announced its quarterly earnings yesterday, and among the news tidbits was the fact that it’s sold 300 million Windows 7 licenses since the operating system launched in October 2009. That seems to be ahead of a 2009 prediction by IDC that forecast that the company would sell 177 millions copies of Windows 7 by the end of 2010. (It’s possible that Microsoft and IDC’s definitions of an instance of Windows sold vary.)
