Post Steam Windows 7 users now outnumber XP users
Yea, the number of people using Steam on Windows 7 is now greater than the number on XP. That really says something about the adoption rate of Windows 7. Seeing as I run it myself, I can understand... it's a great O/S.

For comparison purposes, Windows 7 beat Windows Vista users four months ago. And the MacOS users account for 8% of the total users of Steam... a very respectable number. It shows the potential for 'MAC Gaming' to be very real.

No real reason for me to change to 7. And i am constantly guiding my family through errors and problems so as long as they are using xp, i am using xp. A little curse of mine.

Funny you mention, because the other day I arranged to upgrade my work laptop to Win 7.

I've heard good things all round.

If you've never used it, and especially if you've never used Vista either, be prepared to have to relearn some stuff. However, overall it's a really nice O/S, at least in my opinion. I'm very favorably impressed, and glad I got a free copy via my college. :mrgreen:
