And I say this completely unironically: That's because it's everyone's favourite Mac OSX release. If somebody has a preference for a release of Windows, it can range. Some love XP, some 7, some even might say "Screw the pushiness - I can make it shut the hell up, and 10 was better under the hood". Hell, I think I've seen comments to the effect of "95 was the best ever". But having a favourite release of Mac OSX means it's Snow Leopard. I've seen comparisons between $current and $current_minus_one, but never in regards to "That was my favourite" - likely because anyone invested enough in Mac OS releases to have a favourite, favours Snow Leopard.
