Windows 7 is doing much better than Vista

The figures indicate that Microsoft might have returned to the heady days of making sales rather than having to cover for embarrassments.

NPD Group says that if Windows 7 had not done as well at this time of year Vole would have an excuse because Vista launched in January when people are more likely to buy an operating system. However Windows 7 still has managed to wipe the floor with Vista and also get into those corners which are hard to get into.
