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.

It's a chicken and egg problem. Linux needs vendor driver support, but vendors won't write drivers or provide docs for an OS with minimal market share.
Yes, if you need graphics or audio editing tools from large brand vendors then you're kinda stuck on Windows. However, as a sys admin / sometimes programmer I find that Windows is very inflexible. It's the MS way or the highway.
By the way, it's pretty "easy" to do multi-monitors with nVidia. I've got 3 setup without issue. The "secret" is that you don't use Twinview or Xinerama and set them up all as individual desktops.
