The point release thing was a bit of a joke. Since in the span of time that MS has released 2 operating systems, there will now be 6 releases of OS X, it seems like the OS X releases line up with MS service packs.
Regardless of whether Apple has added more to their OS than Windows does for a service pack, it is not a whole new operating system in the least. It is a collection of graphical (ie entirely useless) tweaks and some features that almost nobody will use.
And from what I hear the Linux gui people had cloned most of the new features of Leopard's gui within weeks of screen shots and videos coming out online. Wooo...
I was actually looking forward to ZFS support, but it looks like they aren't announcing that. Must be saving it for server.
At least they didn't count each of 200 new desktop wall papers as brand new features like they did in Tiger...
