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.

See, we believe in this thing called Freedom. We want to be able to control our machines, since after all-- they're ours, right?
That's about where I stopped reading. No, what you really want is the illusion of control. You don't know what your kernel does. You don't know what your drivers do. You take the word of other people that you're free. And so do I, because I paid them to provide me with what I want, and it works damned well. Freedom, to me, is not having to be chained to my desk dealing with problems all the time -- as I have done many times in the past dicking around with Linux. If that's your idea of freedom, enjoy it.
