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.

Download counts are not accurate either, because I often download Linux from work, then distribute multiple copies of that ISO to friends and family so they don't have to download it.


Quite the contrary: download counts probably severely overestimate the amount of Linux users. People typically download multiple ISOs even if using just one. And they do that every six months or so.

...on the other hand, many people just use the direct upgrade, which does *not* appear as a download *at all*.

I personally have upgraded three PCs to 9.10 (two from 8.10, one from 9.04) and none of these have been counted anywhere.

Also, I don't know of anyone who downloads multiple ISOs of the same distribution. Why would you need to?
