The upcoming release season
,----[ Quote ]
| As has been tradition in the distribution development circles, the arrival of
| September usually means one thing: a highly intensive testing period prior to
| a big flurry of distribution releases. These will start hitting the download
| mirrors in the following months, making the time between late September and
| Christmas the most eagerly anticipated period of the year by all
| DistroWatchers. Fancy a fresh distro full of updated packages? Enjoy
| discovering what new features and exciting enhancements the developers have
| integrated into their products? Eager to exchange the look and feel of your
| desktop for something fresher and crispier? Then you are at the right place.

years for a downgrade (Vista).

Feeling the heat at Microsoft
