upgrading. For all its flaws, one nice thing about Windows is that it has a 10-year (14-year for XP) support cycle, so while there may be service packs, etc., to the end user, the interface is virtually the same for 10 years. I realize that not upgrading/getting more goodies/etc. is not the preference of most people on the list, but for some Debian users it might be. It's an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" type thing.
