Windows should clone one particular release of OS X: Snow Leopard.

It was marketed as a "Zero New Features" update [0]. Only performance, reliability and back-end upgrades (and it was a packed release for sure that completed the 64 bit transition).

EDIT: Anyone who agrees, upvote this comment! Who knows maybe someone in Redmond will see it! You never know!

The most popular versions of Windows -- 7 and 10 -- are both pretty low-feature releases. Windows 7 was just the completed version of Vista. Windows 10 was a bit of rollback of some of the worst UI ideas in 8. Neither were radical departures from the version before.
