			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a little while since you&#8217;ve seen some good hard data from us, so we wanted to give you some new juicy bits to chew on while the turkey bakes in the oven.  How about an update on Windows 7?</p>
<p>As you know, <a href="http://www.reviewd.com/2009/10/reviewd-digs-deep-into-microsofts-home-page/">we&#8217;ve been tracking</a> the sentiment toward Windows 7 for some time.  Launched on Oct. 22 it has now had a little over a month to marinate in the marketplace.  <a href="http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/23/ballmer-windows-7-sales-are-fantastic">Reports abound</a> about how well sales have been of the new Microsoft OS, but what are people really saying?</p>
<p>Well, the biggest takeaway is that they&#8217;re saying less.  It&#8217;s the morning after as far as product launches are concerned and the conversation is dwindling.  Check out this graph that shows the relationship between positive and negative tweets toward Windows 7.</p>
<div id="attachment_302" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-302" title="Win7-30day-line" src="http://www.reviewd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Win7-30day-line.jpg" alt="30-day line graph of Windows 7 positive and negative tweets" width="500" height="280" /><p class="wp-caption-text">30-day line graph of Windows 7 positive and negative tweets</p></div>
<p>Even while the excitement level may be dwindling, there&#8217;s some good news buried within this little graph.  Overall, there&#8217;s more positive activity going on than negative.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few more examples of the tweets that people are making:</p>
<blockquote><p>Oh my goodness. I LOVE Windows 7!!! (So far) &#8211; by <a href="http://twitter.com/Andiereid">@andireid</a></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Windows 7 is awesome. Im stoked to use it tomorrow. <img src='http://www.reviewd.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  &#8211; by <a href="http://twitter.com/bassplayer2008">@bassplayer2008</a></p></blockquote>
<p>and from the other camp:</p>
<blockquote><p>Time to downgrade my Windows 7 from Ultimate to Professional. Fail. &#8211; by <a href="http://www.twitter.com/gearvosh/">@gearvosh</a></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Apparently to upgrade to Windows 7 from XP you first need to upgrade to Vista. Holy fail. Ridiculous. &#8211; by <a href="http://twitter.com/samelaanderson">@samelaanderson</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Warranted or not, it&#8217;s what people are saying.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="63reviewdscore" src="http://www.reviewd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/63reviewdscore.jpg" alt="63reviewdscore" width="214" height="193" /></p>
<p>Too much data can get overwhelming though, which is why a central part of review&#8217;d is the review&#8217;d score.  As we mentioned briefly once before, the review&#8217;d score is our own little gauge at how well things are going over time.  If people are being more positive, up it goes.  More negative?  Down it falls.  You get the jist.  So with that, we&#8217;ll let you know that the latest review&#8217;d score for past week puts Windows 7 at a 63.  How does that fair?  Well, to put it in perspective, Twitter darling <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=zappos">Zappos</a> is cruising at a 92 while <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=state+farm">State Farm</a> is at a whopping 6.</p>
<p>If Windows 7 comes up over the bird this Thanksgiving, you&#8217;re now armed with a little more perspective.  Does it trump all the cool offerings from Apple? That&#8217;s for you do decide.</p>
