One of the classic rules of business is to set your customers’ expectations low, then over-whelm those expectations

And for future reference: the Mac version of the service packs would be the free system upgrades. (ie from X.5 to X.5.1 to X.5.2, etc.)

What differentiates Snow-Leopard from a simple system upgrade/service pack is that a system upgrade or service pack fixes bugs, adds extra code, etc. whereas Snow-Leopard is re-writing vast chunks of the code.

Also, i like the name “Snow-Leopard”, but then again, i really like “Snow-any-animal” one of my favourite creatures is a snow-fox (second only to a Pinemartin, those things are adorable x3) … where was I? … bleh, something about spots?

I actually saw that post already, but it still doesn’t change my mind. Dropping PowerPC, adding more support for 64bit, and a better apps engine doesn’t sound like enough for a new OS version to me. And I know there will be some new features; I said there won’t be any new key features.

Personally I really like the name. And of course Snow Leopards are pretty cool animals.

Furthermore, Jobs didn’t say there would be no new features. He said new features wouldn’t be the primary focus. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_v10.6
