Windows 7 #1 in the world<\/Font><\/strong><\/P>

I’ve been using Windows 7 since before the beta release.The fact that it has assumed the number one position is not news but how fast it got there is.<\/P><\/p>\n

According to StatCounter, Windows7 is now number one in the world.The last year has been a rocket ride<\/strong> as Windows7 went from 24% to 41% share.<\/P>\"\"<\/a><\/P>
\n

Even with XP’s strangle hold on the business sector, two years is all it took for Windows7 to take the lead.<\/P><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

StatCounter has XP and W7 crossing paths in mid September<\/strong>. StatCounter is a free market analyses company whose stats are based on aggregate data collected on a sample exceeding 15 billion pageviews per month from 3 million websites.<\/P><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Windows 7 #1 in the US<\/Font><\/strong><\/P><\/p>\n

NetMarket still shows Windows XP in the lead with a 49% global share and Windows7 with a 35% share. Their stats for the US however tell a different story. Windows7 is ahead with a strong 6% lead<\/strong> or 33% to 27% market share.
\n\"\"<\/a>I’m not sure if there was a difference in criteria used for reporting or if the difference was in the reporting of a single location but the trend for a rapid take over is there. It is reported that Windows7 sells over 650,000 copies a day. <\/P><\/p>\n

The improvements offered in Windows7 made this race a short one. XP had a good run but it’s over 10 years old and getting a little long in the tooth.<\/P><\/p>\n

Are you still using XP?<\/strong> Tell me why.<\/P><\/p>\n
