Linus Torvalds made an interesting comment about operating systems when he was in Melbourne for the linux.conf.au
He said "An operating system should be completely invisible. To Microsoft and Apple (it is) a way to control the whole environment ... to force people to upgrade their applications and hardware."
I completely agree with his comment. I just don't get how can treat a new version or update of an operating system as a cause for major celebration and marketing. We place more importance on OS than the hardware or the applications, where it should be otherway around.
