According to the survey, Windows 7, in just seven months since its release, holds 14.8 percent of the OS market. This indirectly means that the number of people using Windows 7 more than the number of people using Vista.

Janco CEO Victor Janulaitis said, "There are now more users of Windows 7 than Vista. That is a major factor in their improved record earnings.  The last OS that was accepted as quickly in the market was XP. Vista's market share has peaked and is in the process of being decommissioned in most enterprises." Janulaitis added, "The last six months have been a mixed bag for Microsoft.  While they have good news on the OS front, their browser market share has fallen to the level that it was in 1998."

Interestingly, in the browser market, Microsoft continues to lose its grip. Internet Explorer lost 3.7 percent of its market share. Firefox is stable with its share at a steady 17.8 percent. As for Google (Chrome and Google Desktop), accounts for a decent 5.4 percent of the share. The top five browser market share rankings are: Microsoft's IE 67.73 percent; Firefox 17.88 percent; Google (Desktop & Chrome) 5.40 percent; Mozilla 1.36 percent; and Safari 0.98 percent.
