Open source is a perfective movement, always improving and developing upon the software. I think the main reason for its success is that it isnt rushed out to meet deadlines or marketing hype, it comes out when its finished and its status is accurately labeled. Microsoft have market pressure to get the next version of Windows/Office/Whatever out, whereas the Kernel contributors or Apache authors have no similar motivation, unless there are compelling features or bugfixes to add.
