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.

I personally think Vistas main problem simply was performance. The driver issues were not really what drove people away, it was the slow as molasses feeling it overall had. That things like the bootup improving task went straight on your hd for 20 minutes after bootup did not help either on notebook computers.
Vista was about 80% good 20% sucked tremendously Win7 is in the 90% ranges with the biggest problems (performance on the UI side of things) having been cleaned up.
Win7 is Vista SP3 mostly, and it took XP as well 3 SPs not to suck.

The bar has been set so low from Vista that it's almost impossible for 7 to not suck, combined with the fact that XP is so old you have the recipe for a great OS.
Vista wasn't _that_ bad, it was just too different from XP, and 7 is so close to Vista with a few annoying things 'fixed' and few more service packs that people are going to finally give in to it. honestly it's pretty close to what the latest Vista with service packs is.
and like the sheep that they are, most reviewers and people are claiming Windows 7 is an entire new beast that they will go to it just like the same people claimed Vista was pure trash.
