I don't buy this argument for a second. Uncountable collaborations are
proceeding toward completion. All life is a collaboration. You are
suggesting that the Australian rudder for the Boeing 777 proceeded
independently to final design and manufacture while the American tail
assembly was designed and manufactured.
Pardon the language, but WTF is this about??? And how does it relate to OOo?
The difference between the 777 and your next Windows OS is that
777.0.0.0 had to land.
What did you say was the name of your employer?

To ALL: Why bother even getting Win 7, if Win 8 is following right

of Windows which will be totally FREE! Please access the SeaMonkey

surprised! :-)
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.
You were saying?
