Did you even read link? Here http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/ http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/ are the new features that went into this release. And your comment doesn't even make sense, first you say it's a service pack than you rattle off a short list of new and upgraded items. These things do cost money to develop. And I'm pretty sure $29 barely covers the cost of it. I don't remember anything new being in Windows when a SP rolled out except a new browser. (There was the uPNP browser that popped up in SP2 I believe)

Every other "system update" reboot I've made for the past 20 months seems to have included an update to QuickTime and Safari -- both of which, by the way, are available as free downloads -- and the prominent featuring of those two products as a component of a whole new version of an OS makes it feel like a service pack.

  > and the prominent featuring of those two products as a component of a whole new version of an OS makes it feel like a service pack. point me to a page that only displays those 2 updates as the main features. In my browser Apple is clearly marketing the 64-bit, Grand Central Dispatch and OpenCL as the main reasons to upgrade. Also stop referring to an OS upgrade as a service pack. Because it isn't. Microsoft releases service packs, just like Apple releases minor updates to their OS, (eg. 10.5.7)

      Thras, I'll ask you this completely sincerely, because I don't and never have understood this. Why do you, and people like you, get off from reading a lengthy debate on a topic online, and ignoring every point except the one that's not a point, then snarking about it? It's not just you: A lot of people do it, and it baffles me. I always really enjoy being told why my opinion on something is wrong, and these snarky responses don't seem to prove anything.

        You more or less said that the grandparent was wrong "just because." You were telling someone that he was wrong without any argument. Exactly what you complained about with me, btw. The only possible response to that sort of thing is snark.

        > The only possible response to that sort of thing is snark. Uh.. no it's not. You could respond like you just did now and explain that they "were telling someone that he was wrong without any argument."

        Yeah. But that's slumming it when I explain things for the dimwits. I felt dirty afterward.

        you my friend, are a mac troll which likes to pay money for service packs (which you get for free when you would be using windows).

  The new Quicktime leverages various features in Snow Leopard, e.g. Grand Central.
