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.

Based on download stats from Ubuntu and Fedora and the like, desktop Linux users are likely in the millions, maybe 10s of millions. Not bad, but hardly a significant portion of the desktop market. Walk around anywhere with computers and you'll be hard-pressed to find Linux machines, or at least a significant number of them, unless you are in some specialized location like a Linux lab at a university.
