that's obviously not true in the large.  It's certainly possible to 
optimize and improve released versions by fixing bugs etc.  So, SP3 
Vista is certainly better and faster than BS1 Vista.  But in the long 
run, a next iteration of any OS includes far too many new features, 
extra APIs and such that it's certainly slower than previous iterations 
from years ago.  Try running Ubuntu on 2001 gear... or even some pure 
CLI Linux from Scratch based on 2.6 kernel rather than ancient 2.4...
