Windows 7, launched a month ago, has "already sold twice as many units" than any previous version in a comparable time, said Ballmer at the software company's annual meeting in Bellevue, Washington, which was broadcast on the Internet.

Microsoft did not give any details or actual sales figures.

Consumers and PC manufacturers have generally welcomed Windows 7 after the disappointing Vista.
