Welcome to the Apple World there PC user. We don't refer to them as "Service Packs" as users in the PC world do. They are "System Updates". Just about every 10.x release has been quickly followed by a 10.x.x release. Why so angry? Updates are (usually) good things! I doubt Apple is embarrassed.

Wake up and smell the world. Computer Operating systems are always released with bugs. It is a function of marketing deadlines and revenue generating techniques. Microsoft is no different. They do the same bull. Look at vista....what a p.o.s. that was in its initial stages. Adjust to the way things are done and stop griping about it.

It's not a "Service Pack" you Windows bell end. Perhaps if your precious MicroShaft spent more time fixing its crappy OS and less time making pathetic attempts to rip off Apple products the wouldn't be such a joke.

BTW, bunch of Jobs-sucking twits, I've been using Macs since the days of the 128MB single-diskette Mac and MacOS 1.0, of which I still have the original install diskette. This was probably before you were even potty trained. And having installed all flavors of MacOS, together with IBM AIX, Sun Solaris, HP/UX, all flavors of BSD's, Linux, not to mention Windoze excrement, I call a spade a spade. SL is very unfinished business and Apple would have been better served by waiting for two weeks and releasing 10.6.1 labeled as 10.6.0 and caused less user discomfort. Heck, it might have even given Steve something more to crow about in his triumphant return.

And no, I don't own a Windoze PC. Closest I get to the thing is via VMWare Fusion, without Boot Camp.

It's obvious that Apple wanted to get Snow Leopard out before the back to school season, and also before Windows 7. It's quite normal for them to have system updates in the pipeline. It was all planned. They didn't just whip this one up last night! Some stuff wasn't ready, like 64 bit extensions, and some stuff is discovered after the fact. They'll have it all finished soon.

And that's why Mac OS is at 10.6, while Windoze is at 7...

Anyone who says 128MB and Mac OS 1 never used them.

Remember SYSTEM 7? It wasn't called "Mac OS" until Mac OS 8... and that was to distance it from "System 8" (Copland) that they never finished. So they changed the naming system.
