Microsoft: Windows 7 Reaches 10 Percent Market Share!
Published February 4, 2010 | 
According to Net Applications, Windows 7 reached a 4% market share in a very respectable less than three weeks, and in comparison, it took Windows Vista seven months to reach the same mark, and as of January 29, 2010, Microsoft announced that they had sold more than 60 million Windows 7 licenses.
So we think it can be said with relative certainty that Microsoft got it right this time with Windows 7, especially after the mistake they called Vista. They got it right developing a product better than its predecessor, with less annoying quirks, faster, smoother, and much more compatible with more peripherals and software.
Initial sales numbers and market share reports have shown that Windows 7 is on the right track, and it’s starting to become obvious that it will be one of the most successful products in Windows history, especially since it already caught 10 percent market share in just approximately three months after it arrived on the market October 22, 2009. Windows Vista currently holds around 20% market share, while the 9-year-old Windows XP is still alive and kicking at between 60-70%.

In addition, it seems that U.S. retail prices have been accidentally leaked for the new Microsoft Windows 7 Family Pack and other Upgrade pricing packages, and of course, if this all holds true, then Microsoft is preparing to introduce multi-license packaging.

Google takes on Microsoft Windows with Chrome OS
Published July 8, 2009 | 
Team Altman Interesting News:
Google’s message to Microsoft with its incursion into Windows territory with its own version of a computer operating system that might change the operations of personal computers is “It’s on!”
The company announced the forthcoming Google Chrome OS will revolutionize how computers operate by putting more emphasis on Web functionality that will make computers faster, and open them up to helpful tinkering by outside program developers.
We have no doubt that Chrome OS will be a huge success, especially if it ends up as fast and as simple as Google is promising, and we should definitely not underestimate the potential of Windows 7 as the best thing to come out of Microsoft in a long, long time.
Apple doesn’t seem to be worried since that’s what Google is taking aim at, with the intention of slowly eating into Microsoft’s market share, and to get Chrome OS installed on netbooks first, then notebooks and desktops later. Yet Apple, even with eight per cent or whatever it claims nowadays doesn’t seem to be in its sights.
