One. Of course it would take ages for a release. :)
The power of GNU/Linux distros (and other *nixes) lies - IMHO
obviously - in the community of volunteers who keep it. Of course this
is only possible thanks to it being open source, but if hell were to
freeze over of microsoft were to open source Windows 7, you'd see a
dramatic increase in 7's quality. Ever since XP SP3 i've began to tag
Window OSes as tolerable (well except Vista, but that was a beta 7
anyway, management decisions over technical ones for you). Haven't
tried 8 yet, too tablet for me.
As for Debian, i've been a regular user for ages. I don't like the
apparent ease and pointy-clickiness of Ubuntu and i count rant on
about that OS.
