Actually, good ol' 7 might be right.  And if things keep going in the
same vein, it may get worse for Windows:

   http://www.zdnet.com/article/npd-chromebooks-outsell-windows-laptops/

   Many people have resisted the idea that Chromebooks really were growing
   in popularity. Now, less five years after the first commercial
   Chromebook, the Samsung Series 5 and Acer Chromebook went on sale, NPD,
   the global retail research group, is reporting that Chromebook sales in
   June and early July had exceeded "sales of Windows notebooks ... passing
   the 50 percent market share threshold."

And Windows is getting buffetted from the other side as well:

   It wasn't just Chromebooks selling well. Apple MacBook sales increased 27
   percent year-to-date while Windows laptops grew 3 percent.

No wonder the Windoze boys are waxing vociferous!
