Windows CFO Tami Reller added: “We see a future with a heterogeneous enterprise environment of Windows 8 devices and apps alongside Windows 7 PCs and apps.

Windows 7 record

Ballmer and Reller were speaking as Microsoft announced that it has sold a whopping 400m Windows 7 licenses, making it the fastest selling OS ever.
