Uh...I heard that figure on NPR the other day but they DID say that
included preloads. In fact the retail sales were about 3 million and the
balance was pre-loads. 

And remember Microsloths original astounding earnings on Windoze 3.x were
from pre-load sales that many people never used and from a agreements that
the govornment ruled (and with which the courts agreed) were violating
anti-trust laws.

Yeah, I'll agree in a hot minute, Microsloth has done a great marketing
job. Desiging a decent OS, is another issue all together. :-)
