Software sales up in first half | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
Retail computer software sales were up in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year, thanks in part to a strong market for business and game titles, according to a report released Wednesday. Traditionally, the first half of the year is a slow period for retail software sales, but this year sales were up 5 percent, to about $3 billion, compared with the same period last year, according to research firm NPDTechworld. Sales of business and gaming-related software were particularly strong. Revenue from operating systems such as Microsoft's Windows XP and Apple Computer's OS X, as well virus detection software, helped the business category improve 9 percent to just more than $1.5 billion in revenue. | ||

| Of course anti-piracy measures like those found in XP probably helped a bit. |

And guess what Amazon's #1 seller is...
MacOS X 1.2 (Jaguar). I will freely admit that I had no intention of paying Apple's ridiculous "no upgrages allowed" fee of $130 for this thing, until Amazon came out with their $50 rebate. $79 is more reasonable. TL |

| Not saying it totally stopped pirates. Just saying it helped, especially with people that normaly purchase one license for software and install the software on multiple systems, but don't know how/care to go online to get cracks, and those who actually want to stay legal. |
