PLEASE DONT POST COMMENTS THAT SAY "I'M DOWNLOADING IT NOW."
Every time there's an OS update we get like 3 pages of people saying things like "I'm downloading it now" and "It says 30 more minutes till my download is done" etc. Please just wait until your download has been finished and fully installed and you have something worthwhile to say about it. Even if you're just saying "I've installed it and everything is running fine and I see no changes" at least that gives us some small amount of relevant info.
Thanks. :)

Lion is not a major release, it's a point release. A major release would be going from OS 9 -> OS X, or sometime in the near future OS X -> OS XI
Sorry, you're wrong.

No way, Apple treats 0.1 as a major release.

It's getting old for me. I've been running Lion DP as my main OS for the longest time. :D
Surprised you're not using OS 10.8 already.

I love this, and I totally agree, but the reason I would never post that is because people don't like to be told what you do. Now everyone is just going to quote you and reply with something they think is clever and funny.

I don't know why this is something offensive to all of you, it wasn't an insult.
Apple: Every few years comes out with a new OS with many changes that they charge money for. Offer minor free updates in between.
Microsoft: Every few years comes out with a new OS with many changes that they charge money for. Offer minor free updates in between.
Looks the same to me. I don't care WHAT you call them, the point is they're the same. Call them major, call them points, call them pudding. I don't care. The "offensive" part is that you said Apple's are "not major" and then said that Microsoft's are major.
I don't care what term you use, but to call them different things does sound a lot like an insult to Apple.

Why would he play some dumb game you've apparently just conjured up from the ether. You're wrong. Deal with it.
