Windows 7: 90 Million people can't be wrong

Lifehacker.com reports there are over 90 million copies of Windows 7 sold, and happily running on computers worldwide. It is the first product upgrade to be such a success, and as I've written here before, it can improve your productivity in many ways.

Many former add-ons were clumsy to use or available only for purchase from other vendors. But Microsoft has bundled so much cool stuff into Windows 7, you won't need to look anywhere else. If your computer has plenty of disk space and at least 2 GB of memory, you might want to upgrade. Otherwise, you can get a Windows 7 computer for under $500.
