Some good news, Windows 7 market share is just above 1% of the market for OSes. Not bad at all for an Operating System that has yet to be released to the public. This is good news for the newest OS from Microsoft. Also in the good news department, the commonly refered to “failed OS”, Vista, also gained some market share, as many users have started dumping Windows XP in favor of the more secure, but resource hungry, OS.
Windows 7’s share has more than doubled since May, when Microsoft issued the Release Candidate (RC) , the final public preview of the OS. Since then, Microsoft has wrapped up Windows 7, and delivered a RTM (release to manufacturing) build to computer makers, volume license customers and subscribers to its TechNet and MSDN services.
