WOW...This site has attracted Windows Haters like flies to honey.

No one can say one good thing about Windows with all the Mac heads flying of the handle. Why don't your guys go blast 7 on a Mac forum or something. Oh, wait, you already have. I enjoy using Windows yet I do not browse the internet for Mac praisers so I blast them. I total second David, 7 has started out of the gates as good if not better than XP.

Maybe because Vista never worked and XP is now archaic. Bet you'll still find some companies on windows98 though. Funny how no one ever really trusts or jumps on Microsoft upgrades until several years after the service packs and bug fixes.

Dan,

I appreciate that access to my site is not likely to bring in many non-Microsoft visitors, however the mix of Microsoft operating systems is shifting very quickly to Windows 7 from both Windows XP and Vista.

As for the people running Windows 7 before release - this will include those running beta copies, but since August the product has been released and the growth is unlikely to be beta copies.

ttfn

Your website is also tailored to exactly the sort of people who would run Xp, Vista, 7, Ubuntu, OS X + at the same time and would only have accessed your site in 7 because they were trying it out.... or using your site for a solution to a problem as above.

You'll notice that ~15% of your visitors were using Windows 7 before it was even released...

Don't take the sharp increase in Windows 7 visits as all good news Dave, my visit was Google directed because of a Office 2003 EULA problem that was rapidly becoming a Royal Pain in the behind.

As things turned out, you provided a solution to the problem and I owe you a round for that. Thanks!
