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.

On Linux we have XvMC and VA APIs that should do the same. Pity many cards don't support them though.

However I just tested a HD video, and found it plays perfectly on Ubuntu 9.04 with VLC and an Intel graphics card with 25% CPU usage, but on 9.10 with VLC and an NVidia FX5200 it burns 100% CPU and skips unbelievably. I'm investigating.
