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.

Wait, you mean Microsoft's software doesn't run unmodified on a different operating system?


You're missing the point. People WANT to do all of these things, and they either can't do it at all under Linux -- or they have to jump through so many technical hoops with WINE that it just isn't feasible for the average person. So, where does that leave them? It forces them to use alternatives which require unnecessary compromise, when they could simply be using OS X or Windows, in the first place. That's the fundamental truth which is restraining Linux growth.
