I'm sure the service pack was downloaded millions of times in the first 72 hours as well.
I get the whole 'X number of ipads/iphones/iDevices sold in 24 hours' bit, but is selling software that is essentially an update to something that millions of people own really that big of a deal?
If this were about 3 million Retina Mac Books being sold in 72 hours then I would definitely be impressed. This? Not so much. Maybe it's just me.
