According to market researcher NPD Group, U.S. sales of Windows 7 boxed software were a whopping 234 percent higher than Vista's first several days of sales. And as my colleague Brennon Slattery pointed out earlier today, a mixture of media hype and mostly upbeat Windows 7 reviews are working in Microsoft's favor.
