Speaking at a technology conference this morning, Bill Veghte, the senior vice president of Microsoft's Windows Business, said that perceptions of the Windows brand had improved because of the company's $300 million ad campaign.
He said that Microsoft tracks perceptions of the brand across three core groups -- empty nesters, twenty-somethings, and parents.
"In a statistically significant fashion, we moved the perception of Windows positively in September and we moved it again in October," he said. "We have not done that outside a product release since we started the perception studies on Windows in the late 90s."
