I completely agree.

It's no surprise that Win7 has broken records when you also take the following into account:
* MS have a huge majority market share desktop OS installs
* more people own a computer than ever before
* Vista was one of the worst received OSs of all time
* and Vista's only major competitor was another MS product from nearly a decade ago (granted there's Linux and OS X, but they hold a fraction of the market share and OS X "requires" Apple hardware.

In fact, while we're on the subject of broken records, BT have a new record on the number of people online in the UK.
Admittedly it has nothing to do with BT's success because they're a terrible company. But they do happen to own a huge market share on the UKs broadband infrastructure and more people are wanting internet access than ever before.
