The team over at the Windows Home Server Team Blog have been keeping a tally of the uptake of WHS around the globe since February. They’ve come up with a formula to make comparisons across countries relevant - based on Windows Home Server sales divided by the number of households with a broadband connection in each country.
They report positions each month and the Windows Home Server World Cup results for April are in and Norway remains on top, with New Zealand closing the gap. New Zealand is less than 100 units away from first place, assuming Norway stands still. Windows Home Server has now been sold in 47 different countries around the world.
The top 8 countries are:
- Norway
- New Zealand
- United States
- Germany
- United Kingdom
- Denmark
- Australia
- Switzerland
The standings are computed by taking Windows Home Server sales divided by the number of households with a broadband connection in each country. Updated standings will be published each month and the winning country will be announced in July of this year, at the close of Microsoft’s fiscal year 2008.
