According to the latest StatCounter analytics, Windows 7 has finally surpassed the aging Windows XP in American usage share.
As of April 11th, Windows 7's share is 32.2 percent compared to XP's 30.2 percent share.
Microsoft announced in January that it had sold 300 million Windows 7 licenses and that the operating system was the fastest-selling in the company's history.
The company's failed Vista platform fell to 19.5 percent while Mac OS X (all iterations) moved up to 14.8 percent.
When moving the numbers internationally, XP is still the champ, at 46.8 percent, followed by Windows 7 at 31.5 percent.
