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.

Exactly. A lot of the people who complain about Linux are kinda conveniently ignoring the severe flaws that plague almost every OS. Like I've said time and again, having a wretched-coded driver drop the kernel is in no way a unique failing of Linux; I know for certain that it affects Vista too, at least, because it's happened to me. On more than one occasion.
Software is never perfect; there're always bugs. Linux has flaws; Windows has flaws; Os X has flaws. Can we all please stop yelling about how "Oh my God, that OS you use is so much worse than mine, it does this this and this and OH MAH GAWD IT ARE AWEFULL!"?

This might help some people get around a similar lack of q/a for the Windows 7 Fail.
