As it turns out, not only is Windows 7 a much better operating system than Windows Visa, it’s also being much better received by early adopters than its predecessor was.
Web metrics firm NetApplications says Windows 7 accounts for 9 percent of all OSes in use online in February. That’s twice as much as Vista claimed five months after it launched, which only saw a 4.5 percent share.Â
“Looking at the trends, the [Windows 7] growth rate seems to be strong and consistent with no visible decline,” said Vince Vizzaccaro, executive vice president with NetApplications.Â
There’s also been a difference in Windows 7′s weekend and weekday scores, which Vizzaccaro says is indicative of “personal usage growing faster than corporate usage, which fits expectations.”Â
