As demonstrated by Linux and OS X, today operating systems are too complex beasts to develop 3-5 years behind closed doors. Incremental approach seems to be working better, and this problem is visible with Vista. It's just too much of new, untested and buggy stuff (and I won't even mention Vista's undelivered promises which will apparently come with the next, buggy & unfinished OS).
