Apple’s Lion hits 1 million copies sold
Apple today announced that it sold more than 1 million copies of Lion, the latest version of its Mac OS on its first day of availability.
The software, which went on sale early yesterday, made its debut back in October during the company’s “Back to the Mac” event. In today’s release, the company noted that customers are buying Lion “faster than any other OS release in Apple’s history.”
“Lion is off to a great start, user reviews and industry reaction have been fantastic,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, in a statement. “Lion is a huge step forward; it’s not only packed with innovative features but it’s incredibly easy for users to update their Macs to the best OS we’ve ever made.”

Looks like Lion is off to a fantastic start. I haven’t heard of too many issues with the upgrade either, other than app compatibility, which is expected for the first few weeks following a major release.
