MS has always done that, release a flop throw a new UI on it and call it a new and improved OS.

WinME had bad press. (It really was win 98 with a new UI)
So they released win2000 with a new gui to get a fresh new OS out XP


Windows Vista had bad press.
New Gui and call it windows 7


Windows 8 came out and got bad press
New Gui and call it windows 9

See the pattern?

I am not saying that ALL they do is slap a gui on it and annouce it is new, they make some simple changes too but the UI is the big one.
