Deja vu

Happened with vista about this fast.
Anyway I don't think it matters. Any more than it matters the iPhone has the most mobile apps. You don't need 100 mediocre apps that do the same thing. You just need one great app.

I hope so...

Macs only have about 6% of the total install base, up to 12 in some other dynamics. If Windows 7 can't pass that, there is not much to report.
