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.

How ironic is it that Windows 7 gets more marketshare in a single week than Linux has in nearly 17 years.

And to the person who claimed Kubuntu was "faster" than Windows... are you blind? Both nVidia and ATI drivers are significantly slower than their Windows variants.


there's a lot more to the speed of an OS than a single vendor's drivers, i'm pretty sure Linux is faster at decoding most video formats with any Nvidia video card thanks to VDPAU.

You know that VDPAU is equivalent to DirectX Video Acceleration, right?
