Microsoft releases sales figures for Windows 8 and Skydrive

Microsoft CMO/CFO Tami Reller stated that it “recently” sold its 100 millionth Windows 8 license since the OS launched in October, which averages about 10 million units a month between its January stats update and today. It does show adoption hasn’t picked up again since the initial dropoff.

With regards to its Windows Store, downloads of both free and paid apps increased from 100 million in January to 250 million.

Microsoft’s file storage Skydrive celebrated its 250 millionth user recently.

Microsoft all mentioned is Windows Blue update would arrive before the end of the year.

Whilst the figures aren’t rocketing forward, there is signs that Windows 8 is continuing to gain some traction. Difference is that competition has never been so fierce.
