Windows 7 Overtakes XP, OSX Struggles To Beat Vista

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."

    Linux leads in market share in just about every other computing space from embedded to smart phones to servers to supercomputers so why not the desktop next year?

    Light years ahead?? How? OS X is one of the least customizable OS's out there. Its apple's way or the highway. Seriously, what does it do that windows can't??

    Apple's quality hardware??

    You mean the exact same hardware that gets used to make Windows PCs? Apple gave up its exotic hardware long ago. Now its just a basic intel board you can buy for half the cost of what apple is going to sell it to you for.

    Next you'll be telling me that os x is magical. God you apple fans live in a fantasy world.

    Why do so many product ads tell you everything except what the product does?
