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.

It's also a self-fulfilling prophecy: software isn't ported to Linux, because it has a 1% market share... and it has a 1% market share because software isn't ported to it. OK then. This goes waaaaay on back to one of the original points in the earlier comments: Windows isn't ubiquitous because it's technically superior -- which it may or may not be -- but because it's already ubiquitous.
I'm not blaming Linux for not having some software that many people find useful. It's no one's fault. But it does call into question the idea that "Linux is ready for the desktop." Until and unless these issues are addressed in some meaningful way, many people will conclude that Linux isn't ready. Sad, but true.
