they come out with a new office suite every 3-4 years (97, 2000, 2003, 2007).

a new OS every 3-4 years 95, 98, ME (2000), XP (2003), Vista (2007)

Is there a point where you could improve on an OS or Windows suite by just upgrading it through new versions? is coming out with a brand new program necessary? thanks for your opinions.

The hardware and software technology is constantly improving. As hardware and software products mature, companies leverage the technology improvements to give the user a better experience. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy anything.

You like Windows 95 so much, you can keep it. .

I get bored using the same operating system after some 8 months. I would like to try something new. Once I accidently runned Linux from a computer magazine CD which I left in the CD drive the day before. It was a nice experience but because there were no other programs installed I just played around with it for a while. After closing it, the computer displayed 'access violation' because mine is an oem computer. I couldn't autoplay that CD anymore! I guess Microsoft was really sore about that. I had to 'explore' the CD... It's time more people try other OS. So Microsoft won't be so monopolistic.

They are really newer versions of their predescessors; such as Windows XP is really known as Windows NT 5.2 in technical circles. And while nobody terms it so Windows ME is in fact Windows 98 Third Edition and Windows 98 is just Windows 95 OSR3.

None of Microsoft's current offering are completely new as you understood from a marketing point of view; that includes Windows Mobile/CE.

new versions and improvements on an OS come out to compete with other OS.
apple would come out with "a"
then microsoft would come out with "b" to compete with "a"

and sometimes it seems like microsoft puts bugs in the OS on purpose to make the customers upgrade and spend money. yeah sounds evil i know, but maybe that's why bill gates is so damn rich.
