I wouldn’t call myself a diehard fan of any operating system, as with everything else I think each OS serve’s its own purpose.  However, I’ve been a huge fan of “7″ since it’s public beta releases.. After the disaster which was Vista, I was reluctant to format my PC and start on Microsoft’s newest operating system.  However, it out performed all of my previous operating systems in every sense of the term.  Not only was I eager for the release, but I was eager to spread the word to my friends who were also hesitant.

Today, BoyGeniusReport.com posted Microsoft’s numbers for the first week of Windows 7.  Windows 7 outsold Vista’s first week by 243%, which I’m sure resulted in a lot more satisfied customers.

While my dislike for Vista has been well documented in many conversations and posts on various message boards, these numbers really surprise me.  Originally, I was convinced that the public would have been timid to purchase a new Microsoft release after the problems which ensued with its’ previous tragedy.
