Excluding Vista, Microsoft has always released a new Windows product once every 1-3 years, and next year would mark the third year since the release of Windows 7. |
However, of those only 95 to 98 (3years), 98 to XP (3years), and XP to 7 (8 years) were worth upgrades.
XP was so long lived because it was good.
7 is also good and should have more minor upgrades vs entire new OS.
However, I understand why 8 is coming as MS needs to get into the tablet market and better connect its phones to tablets to PCs. It really just makes sense.
