It's interesting how much worse this works than the Linux model of just having a single continuously updating release and trying to never break compatibility. There's stable releases with distros like Debian and branching major versions (sometimes), but updating to the next version rarely creates an actual nightmare like XP -> 7 or 7 -> 10 might.
