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.

Funny you mention that, actually. I do access my exchange e-mails from Thunderbird on Linux, and I do basically all of the calendering from my iPhone. It works, but it's not optimal: for instance, a lot of extra hassle was required to get access to our LDAP address books in Thunderbird on Linux, when they where auto-discovered in Outlook (note: this is not Thunderbird's fault, it's Microsoft's). It's also annoying to get an even invitation in Thunderbird, and have to get my iPhone out, log into it, and do the calendering from there.
It's pretty much required to have a Windows install around here, basically because we make heavy use of exchange and Sharepoint, and people don't want to worry about some of their co-workers not having good access to those platforms. Sure, you can work around it, but people don't want you to have unreliable or partial access to a platform that performs mission-critical functions. To make full (or most convenient) use of Exchange and Sharepoint, you pretty much need to be using Windows (and even IE specifically for Sharepoint, it's my impression).
