Um...how about releasing a version that fixes existing bugs first? This actually reflects the Microsoft mentality for the past few years: every release needs to have something really, really big. But when you are trying to introduce something really big while fixing bugs, you end up introducing more bugs and problems.
You know, some other companies (like the "fruit company") actually releases many firmware and software updates to just "fix bugs".
