Windows 7 powers 10% of business PCs, growth to explode

[klepto12]

Something you have to remember when MS says how well 7 is selling, is that they forced OEM PC Makers to include it with new sales. I don't for a minute think their numbers reflect the sales of Win7 disks, mostly OEM sales. Therefore companies that buy new PC's (in todays blasted markets, its probably mostly banks and wall street companies that have the funds to throw around) are what's making the numbers seem so good. I just hope someone with half a brain is in charge of Windows 8 and makes it more like an XP2 than Vista or 7. Fat chance though. Vista was screwed from the beginning cause MS let the MAN tell them what to do, and included DRM that really slowed it down to a crawl and had to check everything you ran to see if it was a copyright threat. They also removed much of the versatility that XP had to try and stop pirated versions, but they had pirated Vista out days after its release so it was another failure on their part.

I agree here this is a good point.

I've been a very proud owner of Win95, 98, ME, XP and now Win7. All have given me the best PC experience at the time. Microsoft has gained my loyalty through the years.

ME? Your joking right? ME was like like Vista was to Win7, a sort of bug filled preview of what would become Win 2000. Even years after XP was released, people who posted in forums they were still using ME and had problems were laughed at and told to get rid of it. I used it for about a week when a guy at work gave me a disk, just to see what it was like, and dropped it like a hot potato.
