Today during the Day 1 keynote of our annual Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, Steve Ballmer revealed that Windows 7 has officially sold 400 million licenses to-date. Our previous statement of 7 copies of Windows 7 sold a second continues to hold true.
The article says that Internet Explorer 9 is the favorite browser today. It sure isn't with me. I had it on my desktop and my netbook. I'm back to IE 8 as I like it better. But that's only my opinion. I guess I'm with the minority.

Funny to see how many people are holding on to Windows XP. If they would just move over to a new OS or stop using the horribleness that is IE 6 that would be great.
That said and this could be slightly off topic but Windows 7 x64 cannot hold a candle to say Ubuntu Natty Narwhal in terms of performance. I am just blown away by how fast everything is in Linux! Especially development! If I did not play games I don't think I would have had any of my computers running Windows 7 at all!
