Windows 7 keeps edging out XP
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Windows 7 is not a steamroller just yet, but the latest figures from one tracking firm show that it's gradually cutting into Windows XP's territory.
Microsoft's newest version of Windows finished 2009 with 5.71 percent of all operating system market share, according to Net Applications, up from 4 percent at the end of November.
When the consumer editions were released October 22, Windows 7 already held a 1.99 percent share due to early availability to corporate customers and technical users who subscribe to Microsoft's TechNet and MSDN services.
