MSFT: Windows 7 is Fastest Selling OS of All Time
This probably means that it sold faster than Windows Vista.
Microsoft's very proud of its latest operating system Windows 7, as it seems that the general public likes this one far more than its predecessor. In fact, the company boasts that this Windows platform is flying off the shelves faster than any other operating system.
Fast Company quotes Craig Beilinson, the Director of Marketing for Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division, as saying, "Windows 7 is by far the fastest selling Operating System in history."
This isn't the first time that Microsoft has boasted about the sales of Windows 7. Shortly after release, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer characterized Windows 7 sales as "fantastic."
"Since launch, we've already sold twice as many units of Windows 7 than any other operating system we've ever launched in a comparable time," Ballmer said in an earlier report.
Sadly, Microsoft still isn't sharing hard sales numbers with any of us yet, but given the growing proliferation of computer users today, (which means that there are more computer users than ever), it's not hard to believe that the latest Windows is selling faster, to more users, than previous releases.

It is fast, stable, and rock-solid. Running 7 Ultimate right now and it is a good OS, and far more intuitive than any other version of Windows before it.
With Microsoft lowering the upgrade and full version prices of "7" compared to Vistas' previous pricing schemes, tossing in discounts for students and families with "home bundles", and giving a wider-birth of usage for RC users, its likely that we will see Windows 7 overshadow XP in terms of popularity.

Most agree with you on that one
Agreed. I don't like Microsoft as well. But I don't like apple as well. So what can i do? Only windows can run everything compared to mac and win 7 is the best by far, so im gonna vote for this one.
The interface itself hasn't changed much from Vista, so I'm having a hard time seeing how it's much more intuitive than Vista. I love 7 (and I'm running it right now), but far too many people bash Vista without having a clue how well it can run if set up properly on a decent computer.
Vista was and still is an excellent OS. It wasn't that way in the beginning, but those times are long since gone.
Running Win7 on a 1GB PC is a much better experience than vista.
I've gone back to XP (From Win7rc) since MS has canceled their Family Pack. I don't have $300 to blow... and spending $100~110 per PC is not worth it. At best, I may go to Win7 on my next upgrade after USB 3.0 & SATA3 is native in chipsets .
That said... the clean install of XP on my intel Quad is fine, but not as good as Win7 in many areas. But some of my software doesn't like Win7 either. Oh well.
