More Win 7 than Win XP.

[JackMDS]

Windows 7 has passed the 10-year-old Windows XP in U.S. usage share, according to data from an Irish Web analytics company.
In the first 10 days of April, Windows 7's average daily share was 32.2 percent as measured by StatCounter, besting XP's average of 30.7 percent.

That's pretty amazing actually. I'm guessing that a lot of people bought new computers because i don't think corporations have moved over in large scales yet.

Last two years where big migration days.

Every day there where few Dell P-4s in the basement of the Buliding (High rise in NYC with hundreds of apts and offices) witing for grabage collection day.

As far as I can gauge most people finaly dumpped the 2001 to 2007 P-4 XP run Desktop computers and switched to modern Laptops with Win 7.

A large number of 50000+ employee corporations have made the switch to 7 this year, a lot earlier than I expected.

Some prolly have, Dell won't sell XP pre-loaded on a machine anymore and you can't get "official" xp drivers for their hardware either. The time it would take to build an image for the individual machines and re-image all incoming machines is ridiculous

That's good news for Microsoft, I guess. Hopefully good news for the overall internet/web too, but I keep hearing about exploits that work on Win7, so perhaps it's not that much more secure than XP is, in truth.

It is easier to use (for some things). For other things (networking), not so much. There are still some severe bugs in Win7's file-sharing code, that prevent proper interoperability.

You would think that MS would care about fixing these glitches, so that Win7 and XP computers could share files seamlessly, but we all know that MS has an "upgrade agenda" to push, and probably put the defect into the OS on purpose.
