Microsoft is probably more concerned about repeating the fiasco around the Vista launch. Nothing hurts adoption of your new OS like having third party drivers broken on launch day. It's not like you avoid getting the new Ubuntu just because you know another one is coming out in April of next year. Apple's OSs are special in that regard, as Apple also control the hardware.
