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.
just tried it on my laptop with a total of 40s (excluding bios like in the video)
i would show you a video but my cam can only record for 40s, so the last second where ff is rendering the page is missing :/ "
It is not a performance comparison unless you try different OSes on the exact same hardware.
When you do that ... when you run Ubuntu/Kubuntu on the exact same hardware as Windows 7, and you compare performance, Ubuntu/Kubuntu wins easily.

thats definitely true, but i'd guess that they used something newer and more powerfull than my 1-year old laptop
but as i have to free up some space for haiku on it, i may try ubuntu for a short time...
