Windows 7 now has 7% of the Operating System market

From few years from now, when asked what is a computer, few people answered, “Windows”. I could hear those geeks laughing but they were just a minority while most others really did not know what the question meant.

Time’s changed. Windows Xp came which currently has 60%-70% of the Operating System market share and then Windows Vista came which was the biggest flop in the history of Microsoft’s OS lineup. But then Windows 7 arrived which proved to be a game changer and if reports from NetMarketShare are to be believed then Windows 7 has captured 7.50% of the market share within just three months of launch.

This has broken Microsoft’s all past records and Windows 7 has defeated Windows Vista sales by over 280%! One of the biggest reasons why this happened is because most of the computer manufacturers quickly flocked to Windows 7 as it was way better than Windows Vista and not to forget Microsoft does have a huge of army of manufacturers! NetBook sales were also all time high and Windows 7 quickly sailed it’s way to success in the Netbook river too!
