Windows 7 users outnumbering those on Macs.

The overwhelming majority of the market uses Microsoft Windows, so it should come as no surprise that Windows usage this past weekend was higher than that of Mac OS X. The interesting stat, however, was that Windows 7 usage surpassed all versions of Mac OS X combined.


According to tracking firm Net Applications, Windows 7 commanded an average of 5.07 percent usage last Saturday and Sunday. The growing slice of market share was enough to move past the 5 percent that Apple held across all its current versions of OS X for that week.


"It's safe to say that Windows 7's daily share did peak above Mac's weekly share," said Vince Vizzaccaro, executive vice president at Net Applications, according to Computerworld.


Looking at Window 7's full week average, which started out lower than numbers attained over the weekend, Mac OS X still led ahead by nearly a percentage point. Windows 7's week averaged at 4.15 percent usage. Vizzaccaro believes that the growth of Windows 7 will mean that it'll soon leave OS X behind.


"Certainly, the trend line shows Windows 7 will surpass Mac share soon," he predicted.

And there are more Japanese cars with oversized rims than the entire number of Bentley's on the road.

I'm not sure what the significance of either comparison means.

This is no suprise
Hard to find negatives about a fine OS as W7

someone said something about W7 being available for 30 bucks for students with a .edu address and i just wanna confirm that. Normally I would just snag an enterprise copy but u cant beat being legal for 30 bucks.
