Windows 7 Overtakes XP, OSX Struggles To Beat Vista

Posted by samzenpus on from the top-of-the-list dept.

judgecorp writes "Latest market share figures show the difference between perception and reality. Windows 7 just nudged past Windows XP with both around the the 43 percent mark. OS X and Windows Vista divide the rest of the spoils, with all versions of OS X only just adding up to a little more than the failed Windows version, according to data from Netmarketshare."

    Thunderbolt (good idea, but currently fairly useless)

    If she is doing video work she needs this:

    Seagate GoFlex Desk Thunderbolt Adapter

    Docks any SATA drive, gives you Thunderbolt speed in accessing the disk.

    We should see even more Thunderbolt storage stuff shortly.

    Being able to quickly swap out drives should be really useful for video work.
