More testing.
After scraping Longhorn around September 2005, Microsoft put together a
Server 2003 (XP) derivative for about 6 month before calling 'feature
freeze' (it decided to call this Vista). 6 months! That's like Ubuntu's
release cycle. It's like comparing Edgy and Feisty, but trying to squeeze in
a lot more into an already-bloated and monolithic codebase.
