Windows brings out a new version every six months. This is a much faster rate of development than the old "every three years" or more.

- dsego 6y agoIt's not a new version if they keep the old cruft and just pile on new code. I mean a real new version built from the ground up.
- ChrisSD 6y agoThey've never really done a real new version built from the ground up. Well not since Windows NT (in 1993) and Windows 95. I guess you could argue that Vista was a big overhaul but that took a long time and was still NT. The Windows 10 way is more like OS X or Ubuntu with incremental changes over time. And they do remove or replace things in new Windows versions. They even tried removing Paint but that got a lot of push back from people. Sometimes they only remove things for new installs but other times they replace things for everyone, like the screenshot tool or Edge with Chromium based Edge.
