With Microsoft it appears that "always a bridesmaid but never a bride" holds
true. While GNU/Linux streams along with new versions every 6 months with
more and more powerful options and innovations, Windoze clunks along with
years and years before its next big marketing push.

Come again?

It is only since the release of Windows XP that Microsoft has gotten
away from the "new version every year" mode, as per:
1995 = Windows 95
1996 = Windows 95B
1997 = Windows 95C
1998 = Windows 98
1999 = Windows 98 Second Edition
2000 = Windows 2000 & Windows Millennium
2001 = Windows XP.
