iTunes for Windows has been downloaded over a million times since its launch on Thursday…in the same period over one million songs have been sold on the iTunes Music Store, double the rate of sales achieved when the service first launched at the end of April, according to the company. This brings the total sold to 14 million, an average of more than half a million each week.
On a related topic, Sany Murray smells a bigger issue with the new launch: “The iTunes Music Store is only part of this story. Apple is giving Windows users a taste of the Mac experience, first via the iPod and now via free software that competes directly with Microsoft and others…Very intentional. Very interesting.”
