Mac OS9 -> Panther -> Tiger -> Leopard.
First, going up 0.5 is NOT a new version. Its a mild update. Any programmer will tell you that any update behind the decimal is not really a truely new version - just an update.
So when I found out Leopard wasnt even Version 11 I laughed so hard. All that fancy marketing - all that talk - for an UPDATE. Nothing signigicant changed. Infact, Ive noticed more problems in Leopard than Macs normally experience in awhile. I get a newsletter from ZDNet and theres consistantly some news about Mac updating or patching. Patching?!@!
Enjoy your viruses, spyware, trojan horses, crashes, outdated drivers, and freezes.
I still dont get this. I havent gotten any of those in over a year on my PC. A freeze? If you count the ones where I opened more programs than I had available RAM - sure - and that was 3GB of ram. But really, an honest windows based freeze - I cant remember the last time one got me on my machine I just sold.
I will agree, that video is VERY old. But heres a link to the newest round of patches for Tiger and Leopard:

Obviously theres less to go around on the Mac front in way of malicious content but obviously this "new" version isnt as super stable and super-apple-like as it was touted. Sounds kinda like staying with an older version is better.
Which sounds ALOT like the argument to stick with XP instead of Vista for the moment. Irony? I dont think so.
