    Well not me because I do not care one bit about point releases for operating system kernels, but you people reading this comment :)

    Honestly though, anyone here not care?

    I personally enjoy UNIX/Linux/Solaris/BSD but to be honest they are all pretty much the same to me as a developer.

    The same utilities exist on all, and generally you just build your code and run your app and that's that.

    Windows I might care about a point release or Service Pack because it might have a new DirectX library to play Everquest or CStrike with, but for these workhorse operating systems I often wonder who cares :)
