Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates says sales of Windows Vista have been "rapid", with more than 140 million copies sold worldwide.
Windows Vista is failing to attract business users, with sales of PCs preloaded with the corporate version of Microsoft's latest OS slowing.

Microsoft has said it will only further extended the life of Windows XP Home Edition, and only for low-end computers that have no chance of running Vista.
Microsoft still faces an uphill battle to win over consumers, despite the progress it cites on Vista's performance and compatibility.
So, it seems the WOW -- for Microsoft's Windows Vista -- is not now, but sometime in the future, maybe.
The only people who won't eventually move to Windows Vista are the Linux and Mac enthusiasts.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates speaks with CNET News.com's Ina Fried in New York about the long-awaited launch of his company's new operating system, Windows Vista.
There's still a lot Microsoft wants to do with Windows, and it has its work cut out with Zune, says Microsoft's CEO, Steve Ballmer.
