Windows 7 overtakes Vista in StatCounter's July figures
So, Download Squad readers... How long do you think it'll be before Windows 7 catches XP?
Judging by the number of customers I still have requesting XP on custom builds, I'd say the old boy still has plenty of gas left in the tank.

I never had a problem with Vista but Windows 7 is definitely a better OS.

Windows 7 has already overtaken XP amongst Steam users ;D
But I'd say about a year or two until Windows 7 has overtaken XP. At worst case scenario three years... But this is of course without including Windows 8 in the calculations.

As much as I love Windows 7, I'm ready for Windows 8. I'm hoping for an overhaul visually, you know throwing in that sexy Metro UI in there. And XP will be here for a long time.

I'd say about 2 years. As XP machines start dieing out, and people start looking to upgrade to new computers, Windows 7 will fill in the gap.

I think XP is going to be the next big corporate legacy issue. Lots of BIG companies still use AS400 for JD Edwards or custom data systems. Fortunately, virtualization will make this easier to deal with going forward than continuing to support older systems (like AS400) has been. I just don't understand why more companies don't make long term (7yr+) technology plans with these sort of contingencies in mind.
