Microsoft COO: Gradual recovery in 2010

Microsoft is still seeing a lot of interest in its Windows 7 computer software launched last year and a new budget cycle will help a gradual recovery in business spending, its chief operating officer said.
"We have a lot of interest in the Windows 7 refresh," Kevin Turner told an audience at the London School of Economics on Wednesday. "There's lots of momentum around that." Turner said Microsoft would sell 300 million copies this year of Windows 7, the new version of the software that runs more than nine in 10 of the world's PCs, but said the picture was mixed globally, with varying rates of economic recovery.
