Um, why bother getting the next three versions of Ubuntu or SuSE, since the version-after-that will be coming along just six months after (insert number of any previous version>? Same argument. Windows is big. It's commercial. It needs to be developed, tested, and integrated with a lot of stuff that's: a) out there in the world b) coming (around the time of the new release, such as new hardware and drivers that are in other major companies' planning stages right now and will need instant, out-of-the-box compatibility. So it's completely unsurprising that multiple multi-year projects would be in various stages of conception, development, testing, release, and ongoing maintenance. My own employer... in fact my own small division of my employer... does exactly that for our various products. The release of a product/project is still in QA testing (before final release) while the next two releases are in the pipeline, and earlier releases are in maintenance or being readied for end-of-sales or end-of-life. I would be surprised to encounter a major company with a widely-used product line that did NOT do that kind of planning and scheduling.
