Microsoft sells 2 million phones in quarter



SEATTLE (Reuters) – Microsoft Corp said on Wednesday it sold more than 2 million units of its new Windows Phone 7 software to handset makers last quarter, as it looks to counter Apple Inc's iPhone and the rise of Google Inc's Android system.

The world's largest software maker, which launched its new phone software in October, licenses the technology to handset makers such as Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, LG Electronics Inc and HTC Corp.

Apple said last week 16.2 million iPhones were sold in the last quarter.

Microsoft is set to report quarterly earnings on Thursday.
