> I really doubt there's any rhythm at Microsoft that causes it

Last version was really bad, let's focus on fixing problems on the next ... last version was great, we need new revolutionary features to sell the next one.

That was visible on the older versions of Windows. Win 95 was kinda bad because nothing worked very well, then 98 fixed things, then ME tried to redo everything that still worked badly, what didn't work so they merged everything that worked into 2000. XP both worked badly at the beginning, and well at the end; Vista rebuilt a lot of stuff, and 7 fixed it so it worked.

And then the rhythm completely stopped.
