No. It's more like: OEMS OEMS OEMS.

The number of Windows 7 licenses is just the number of PCs sold. If it weren't Windows 7, then it would be Windows Vista, or XP or some version of MS-DOS.

Our new monopoly product has sold well. Yippie.

At best, you can claim that end uses aren't going out of their way to avoid it (like they did with Vista).

OTOH, it does put the "3 million iPads" into perspective.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/windows-7-hits-150-million-licenses-thats-seven-copies-a-secon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/windows-7-hits-150-million-licenses-thats-seven-copies-a-secon/Jun 23rd 2010 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/windows-7-hits-150-million-licenses-thats-seven-copies-a-secon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/windows-7-hits-150-million-licenses-thats-seven-copies-a-secon/Jun 23rd 2010 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/windows-7-hits-150-million-licenses-thats-seven-copies-a-secon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/windows-7-hits-150-million-licenses-thats-seven-copies-a-secon/Jun 23rd 2010 11:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/windows-7-hits-150-million-licenses-thats-seven-copies-a-secon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/windows-7-hits-150-million-licenses-thats-seven-copies-a-secon/Jun 24th 2010 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/windows-7-hits-150-million-licenses-thats-seven-copies-a-secon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/windows-7-hits-150-million-licenses-thats-seven-copies-a-secon/

See that's what apple does.. they like style over substance. I know it a hard thing to understand that being "cute" doesn't make you smart, moral, or a good person.. it just means you are cute.

And then try to argue that the OS on their computer that they will use 4 hrs a day for 2 years is not worth $100 (hell.. not worth $70). If you aren't a power user, use Linux (its pretty good now) or whatever came with your PC.. but if you want a reliable, feature rich, secure OS for the device you use EVERY DAY.. please support the people who make it possible.
