Microsoft is also trying to put out a 'new version' of Windows in a year, rather than three,

That is as ludicrous as Firefox's rapid release insanity.

That is as ludicrous as Firefox's rapid release insanity.

Apple has gone to yearly updates of OS X - not as large as previous "point" releases, but it ensures the OS evolves as a reasonable rate. I'd think a shorter OS cycle for Microsoft would help them prioritize what they need to be doing rather than the complete UI overhauls they insist on putting in every release.

Firefox's "new public release version every 32 hours or so" schedule is indeed insane, however.
