Who cares what the version number is? Apple's updates are really no different from Microsoft's monthly patches. Click a button, restart, BAM you're done. There's no functional difference between the two, they just use different version numbering standards.

Not true, as anyone with a Hackintosh can tell you. Apple often times makes a lot of core changes in point updates, and on occasion, will require an update in order for other software to function. (IE: Suckfari 4 of iLife 09 tied to 10.5.6 etc.)

Not only Hackintosh users- although it's gotten better recently, I can recall Apple's updates constantly breaking third party OS add-ons and apps, and one having to wait for a 10.x.x-compatible update virtually every single update. I think developers like unsanity just gave up on some of their products from the sheer insanity of it all.

Microsoft's patches aren't point updates of the entire OS, and I can't recall one that was required for other software to function, and virtually no applications or add-ons ever require an update after an OS patch.
