Yeah, my grandmother is still running Windows 98, and I convinced her to hold off on a new comp until 7 was out (I tried the beta, so I knew early).  So, I do think that as people hear how awesome 7 is, they'll upgrade.

If I cleared 3 Billion, you wouldn't see me complaining about it, lol

According to my college statistics clas, you need a random sample of at least 300 people to make any kind of claim to anything conclusively... not nearly enough here, and I would be it is not a simple random sample.

This fall I will be going to college to get a Bachelors in CIS in Networking, so I could see how this is going up, lol.

Very cool... kinda, I guess that means more competitions :)

They do not have a monopoly yet, b/c there are still 2 or 3 other providers.  They are not gaining a monopoly because of lack of consumer choice, they are gaining it b/c the consumers are choosing them over their competitors, nothing more.

The whole idea of some oppurtunistic lawyers taking advantage of the fact that people enjoy using google is ridiculous.  I mean, come on, google is a succesful company, who should not be punished because these lawyers are concerned.  I used Yahoo as well... Google came out, and it was like a miracle, they don't have 30,000 other things on their frontpage, and its easy to use.  I am sick of people taking shots at successful companies.  In a world where the economy is down, most tech companies are laying people off, and there are only 3 major search engines, can't we just be happy that at least one of these search engines is doing what its consumers want it to do?  Yahoo has barely changed in years, Microsoft doesn't have a chance, but google has continued to add services.

At what point do people start to yelp about Windows having such a heavy market share? They got there because the consumers put them there.  Google will continue to thrive because it offers a free, no strings attached service, and a few people just can't handle their success.

I don't think its ready, I have found more then 1 bug that needs addressed first.  For instance, Internet Explorer broken when I tried to connect to an HTTPS server for my ISP, and I have issues with when I press my name in the start menu, "library" comes up...

Other then that, great OS!

Quoting a Podcast: "PC Users have free will"  We can complain about macs (b/c they suck), but we can also complain about our software... ya know... if you don't tell microsoft what is wrong... they will never fix it!  At least we don't worship gates...
