I totally agree with this.  I cant stand the fact that an OS is released
even every 2 years.  I think they should stick with updates as opposed to
version release and just do the updates.  But then again i have heard about
ppl having NO problems with release UPGRADES.  I havent tried it myself.  I
dont believe in OS upgrades (then again that is a MS issue).

I will have to try this out myself on the updates and such.  But i
personally wait till they come out from the stable releases unless it is
something like DVDRip or something like that that is bleeding edge new.
