It’s official: Microsoft got it right this time. After the mistake that was Vista, Windows 7 was greeted like the second coming, and it many ways it really was better than its predecessor: less annoying, faster, smoother, more compatible with various pieces of hardware and software.
Initial sales numbers and market share reports have shown that Windows 7 is on the right track, but today it’s obvious that it will be one of the most successful products in Windows history, as it already caught 10 percent market share, approximately three months after it arrived on the market.
Windows Vista currently holds around 20% market share, while the 9-year-old Windows XP is (still) between 60-70%.
In other news, Internet Explorer 8 recently became the world’s most popular web browser with 25.6%. Love it or hate it, it’s a good thing, as it means that less and less people are using the dreaded IE6.
