I don't think it's stability that forces Linux users to upgrade, but
bloat on the desktop, which is undeniably a problem.  Linux used to be
the OS you could run on hardware that was too old to run Windows, and
this is still true for servers, but I think for desktop use XP
outperforms us on underpowered machines (I would draw the line around
1GHz).
