A couple of weeks after Windows 7's launch, reports came out that usage was rather good considering the short amount of time it was available. In just under 10 days, Microsoft's latest OS hit a 3% market share of Internet-connected PCs, and anyway you look at it, that's impressive. I'm not sure how thing's have improved since then, but as far as Techgage readers seem to be concerned, the OS is quite alright.
In the above-linked news post, I was unable to give information about the percentage of people using Windows 7 to view our site, but as of December 1, our analytics software finally updated itself to support detection of the OS, so we can begin to see its usage on our site. Bear in mind that as our site gets nowhere near the traffic as ultra-large sites which are normally used as a baseline to understand OS usage growth or decline, since our site does cater to a tech audience, it's informative enough to see just how well-received the OS is.
