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.

However, I find that it takes significantly longer to use and maintain Windows than it does Linux.
So Linux is free in comparison to Windows even from that POV as Windows eats more of my time - I constantly have to wait for the dumb thing to catch up, load, login, etc. Linux, on the other hand, typically comes up far faster and gives me far more time to be productive with.
