-————Interestingly enough...the one thing I have with Linux distros is the ‘push’ to upgrade the kernel as soon as a new version comes out. So what?——————

Many distros have adopted 6 month cycles. Red hat(fedora) for example has chosen that because of the GNOME UI. Not because of the kernel.

Browse distrowatch. There are many distros which have the same version kernel in two revisions.

(though just so it’s said, I’m sure that many do elect to release with every new kernel)

-————I mean, isn’t this the most irritating thing about Windows? Push, push, push.—————

Yes and no. It depends on how you’re being pushed and more importantly, where.

-————If the bloody thing works, why upgrade it?—————

I don’t think anybody’s forcing you to upgrade from mint 6.

I don’t upgrade every fedora. I usually go with the even numbers.(I had 10, I’ll be going with 12 soon, I’ll most likely skip 13 for 14)

Perhaps using the concpt of being 'pushed' was a bit strong. It just seems that there are a great many Linux folks out there who are keen on upgrading when the latest version of their favorite distro comes out.

I feel that if it ain't broke, I ain't fixin' to upgrade. Others may have different needs, reasons or desires.
