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.

You know, tomcat, parrotting false figures released by Microsoft is bound to get you in trouble (actually, MS's number was 7%, but you get the idea).
Linux has about 1/3 of all Netbooks sales (i.e. 32%), according to *real* independent research.

A third of Dell's netbooks ships with Ubuntu.
More people want it than you'd care to admit, I'm afraid.
Look, I know this is going to be difficult for Linux fanboys to grasp, but Dell accounts for a small number of netbooks sold. Optimistic estimates place Linux usage on netbooks at about 5% of the overall US netbook market. That's a pitifully small number.
