Windows 7 has been out and about for little over a week now, and as it turns out, Microsoft's new baby is doing relatively well. That is, according to the figures by NetApplications: Windows 7 already reached the 3% mark this weekend, and is already closing in on the 4% mark.

Reason why people pick Windows over linux is because it's foolproof.
When a average joe can install a linux and not have to hit forums/paid support channels for help within first 6 months, you'll see Linux's marketshare skyrocket.
I just moved from Linux to windows 7 because the integration of ati opensource drivers to kernel level made it hard for me to install the closed source ones and I like to use my graphic card as more than just 200$ 2d card.
When linux developers understand that shunning a proper closed source alternative for alpha-stage feeble opensource construct, is shooting yourself in foot. You'll see marketshare rise as well.
