Windows 7 is selling mainly because Vista didn't and they still have enough monopoly power for Windows to be a requirement. I don't think this will last though. Growth is in the mobile and appliance markets where Microsoft's offerings suck and they have no monopoly power. I expect their Office/Windows monopoly to crack in the next 10 years and then they're just another Sun.
