Grossly inappropriate extrapolation

. . .is what I'm about to do, for no other reason than to dream a little dream.

Jobs mentioned that 1 million copies of 8.5 were sold, 2 million if you include copies shipped with computers. That leaves 1 million units shipped with 8.5. That is, of course, assuming we take these nice, round numbers seriously.

1 million units shipped would be pretty cool, but let's remember something else: 8.5 was released October 17th. The quarter began September 26th (or was it 25th?).

That leaves 22 days of computer shipments that apparently go above and beyond the 1 million figure noted earlier. Of course, there were also those 5 or so days at the end of December that were included in the 1 million figure but not in Q1. So 17 days extra.

Let's just say that 1 million units, if you take Jobs at his word, is a conservative estimate for Q1.
