Windows 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.

"There is a video of four machines side-by-side. Ubuntu 9.10 wins easily.
The basic problem, lemur, is that no one cares. "

This will be interesting. Someone cares enough to have ported their entire benchmarking test suite to Windows 7.

This has a lot more meat to it. This will be a far better indication of relative performance than mere videos of Ubuntu 9.10 beating all Windows comers in boot-up speed.

I wonder if Microsoft will try to get an injunction against Phoronix publishing the comparison results when they get them? (possibly on the basis of some legal fluffery in the Windows 7 EULA against testing the software).
