Bleh, as long as I have Quicksilver (and Colibri on Win) who needs a new OS!"

On a related note, the Spotlight improvements are significant. Boolean, networked searches will come in handy since I offload a lot of stuff to my shared drives.

Then again, it might not make good marketing to abandon the “X” portion.

Excellent point. I prefer the up-front point upgrade system instead of arbitrary numbering or things like 'XP' (no offense, Windows XP). XP still had numerical versioning (I think it was 5.1 or something along those lines) and I believe Vista is the same, though it may not be as easy to find as it was for XP. It gives you a better sense as to how these operating systems upgrades are an evolutionary (sorry, creationists) process and a greater understanding of massive overhauls like Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X.
