The title should say

    OS X 10.8.1

I'd completely forgotten that they'd changed the name. As someone who grew up with 'System 6' and 'System 7', it feels weird to chop off so much of the name all of a sudden.

Also, saying 'OS Ten' out loud just seems generic.

I've long wondered when Apple would bump "OS X" to something like "OS 11" or just make OS "Ex" the official pronunciation. I figured they would "pull a Solaris" and claim "OS 11" just meant "OS X 10.11.0". Now it seems like it will become "iOS" everywhere.
