Windows 7 Usage Passes All Versions of Mac OS X
Windows 7 users outnumbering those on Macs.
The overwhelming majority of the market uses Microsoft Windows, so it should come as no surprise that Windows usage this past weekend was higher than that of Mac OS X. The interesting stat, however, was that Windows 7 usage surpassed all versions of Mac OS X combined.
According to tracking firm Net Applications, Windows 7 commanded an average of 5.07 percent usage last Saturday and Sunday. The growing slice of market share was enough to move past the 5 percent that Apple held across all its current versions of OS X for that week.
"It's safe to say that Windows 7's daily share did peak above Mac's weekly share," said Vince Vizzaccaro, executive vice president at Net Applications, according to Computerworld.
Looking at Window 7's full week average, which started out lower than numbers attained over the weekend, Mac OS X still led ahead by nearly a percentage point. Windows 7's week averaged at 4.15 percent usage. Vizzaccaro believes that the growth of Windows 7 will mean that it'll soon leave OS X behind.
"Certainly, the trend line shows Windows 7 will surpass Mac share soon," he predicted.

Looks like 6 or so months.
So, what does it make "a decent choice" again? Is it again "much faster"?
not faster but... to be honest, as I jump from XP to 7 I can finally say that I have something new to look at.
Why does people compare a very slim n basic OS to a full blown functional (more features) , flashy yet still in the slim margin, better and beautifully done OS in speed??? Win 7 is better and only lose in term of boot up times ( a few seconds wont make u feel any different) ... get over it...
I don't get it... really.
What kind of benchmark is this and what exactly does it measure?
Frankly the only surprise i got was to know that MacOS was leading in someway ahead of ALL Windows, especially Windows XP!!
Now, honestly, this measure and this news is really ridiculous, no matter what OS we're talking about.
You are talking bullshit...
Bullsh1t isn't the word... insanity is. This IS news.
