So a fair comparison in your mind is .4 to .6? A four year difference and hardly a leap in technology within the OS, all the while keeping in the 8 year gap between XP and 7. It's not anyone cutting MS slack, by cutting the time for Apple in half it's clear you want to cut Apple the slack.
Who is we? No one has to accept MS coming up short if they think that's what is happening..use a mac or linux. Ruthless? Whatever. Talk to some apple iphone programmers who have been hosed by Apple's generosity. I already said MS's upgrade technology or lack of sucks bad, it's no where near as clean as upgrading an OS X from one version to another.
