Microsoft's Steve Guggenheimer announced at Computex that since selling 525 million Windows 7 licenses back in January (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/19/microsoft-announces-q2-earnings-record-20-9-billion-in-revenue/), it's now hit the 600 million mark. Guggenheimer reckons that Windows 8 will be "the biggest launch time in Microsoft's history." And we're unlikely to argue -- the company does like to put on a show (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/05/xbox-360-e3-2012-keynote/).
