So, and I'm betting my math is way off, does mean that Microsoft sold around 3.9 million copies (well if everyone bought HP and not Pro, w/ ppl buying pro that 3.9 goes down so i'll say.. 3.4 million). Windows 7 looks to be off to a good start! One good thing about Win 7 is that it's looking to be a much better release in terms of graphics driver support! tlmck: pclinuxOS? ;P

I was not really planning on upgrading, but the price was right, and the RC has been at least tolerable. Not gonna make me give up Linux or anything. It will be relegated to the gaming only box.
