Linux 2.6.26
,----[ Quote ]
| So it's been almost three months since 2.6.25 (87 days to be exact, I
| think), making this a longer-than-usual release cycle. Or maybe it just
| feels that way, and we're always getting close to three months these days.

How many versions of OS X and Windows are released every year? GNU/Linux
distributions typically have a 6-month cycle; the kernel sees a ~3-month
cycle.
KVM shows just how much ahead Linux is.

Ubuntu 8.04 KVM Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| With these few single threaded tests, the results were very close between
| Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 8.04 running within a virtualized environment powered
| by KVM. In fact, to an end-user, the results between the two environments
| wouldn't even be noticeable.

Ubuntu picks KVM over Xen for virtualization
,----[ Quote ]
| KVM will be built into Ubuntu's next version, called Hardy Heron and due in
| April. "For the Hardy Heron release, we've really picked up the
| virtualization ball. Virtualization is making its way into data centers and
| onto developer workstations everywhere. Even 'regular' users are using it to
| run Ubuntu on Mac OS X all the time," Hansen said. "Virtualization has been
| on our agenda for a long time, but it became a top priority at UDS (Ubuntu
| Developer Summit) in November. We could see that demand for it was growing."
