  as per the practical views windows XP is still in great use among common people and window 7 is still in "yet to be used" condition due to its some peculior features but according to me we should quickly switch over to windows 7 because in win 7 they provide much more facilities which we didn't get in XP

  @anand:
  I don't think there is any extra facilities given in win 7 as compared to win XP, but the look of win 7 is cool and nice, and win 7 is more secure in virus problems as compared to XP, that's all i think for rising of win 7 so quickly .

  Win 7 also has enhanced/different security implementations than Win XP (huge difference) There's ASLR, better DEP, better SEH protection, better heap protection, less critical vulnerabilities to take advantage of (for now)... it is definitely more painful to develop a good/hardcore virus in Win 7 than in XP.Windows 7 does come with Windows Firewall turned on by default, and User Account Control is set to a reasonable level.And also its look make people to use windows 7..

  Windows 7 is the fastest selling operating system in the world and in the history of computer software. However, I am not sure how popularity is being measured.

  xp is much more convenient for me. I say this after I have it all patched up and secured. I don't find any reason why I should shift to a more resource heavy Win 7!

  Because Windows 7 is not exactly the WIN32 API, and viruses are more likely to attack that, may be thats why Win 7 is less prone to viruses.
  Correct me if m wrong

  XP is still the boss in the market, but Windows 7 is making its market at very fast rate.

  Do not know about facts and figures, However one thing is for sure that WIN 7 is technically best OS in the list of Microsoft OS's.
  
  I am using it since last 3 months, and given full 10 pointers to it. Performance wise its amazing.
