Now i say,
"Jag point 2" point 3 etc etc...
But Jaguar is 10.2, so Jag point 2 point 3 would be 10.2.2.3!

Typo, eh?
10.2.5 cant be before 10.2 for 2 reasons.
10.2 wasn't out yet
10.2.5 hasn't been rumored to being devolped.

No, I think they meant "jag point 2" (10.2.2), and, "jag point 3" (10.2.3), and so on.

My question is, does it really matter if someone calls it "dot" or "point"?? I mean, it's just a friggin update!!!!!! If someone wants to call it "dot" then let them call it "dot". If someone wants to call it "point" then let them call it that....
sorry if it seems like i'm venting but i just think it is a little silly that you really think it matters in the big scheme of things b/c everyone knows what you're talking about!!!

May I point out that many of you have gone dotty.
This character: "." goes under many guises. In the UK we call it a "full stop" in the US it's more commonly known as a "period". As a punctuation mark it now denotes the end of a sentance, but it was once used to indicate a pause in speach, hence the term period.
Beyond punctuating text, it's applications vary internationally - it can be used in currency & time. It is not always used to indicate a decimal point - as you'll see if you check the Numbers tab in the International System Preferences Pane in OS X. In Sweden for example, the dot represents thousands rather than the decimal point.
In Internet parlance, it is used in IP addresses, where in speach you often use a pause rather than saying "dot" and most famously, in domain names, the notorious "dot com".
Jobs tends to be quite playful with his language - his use of "dot" rather than "point" is probably a deliberate affectation - let's remember that the guy takes pleasure in thinking different. By all accounts he's a bit of a trend setter and whatever people say about him, most admire his remarkable presentational skills. You never know, ten dot two might take off.
Now what I can't stand is the guys at the UK Apple Store call centre who talk about "Mac OS Ecs" rather than "Mac OS Ten" - you'd think they could train them to say that right!

As an expat working in the US, I run into the dot vs point problem all the time. I always use 'point' rather 'dot' when speaking about software version, but most (if not all) of my American colleages use 'dot'.
As for OS X, I used to refer to it is '10' but now I got turned and call it 'X'

I know some people are already running 10.2.4, so is there any place with a list of changes?
And when do you think we will see 10.3?
How many 10.1.x revisions were there before Jag hit?

However. you only have one decimal point per number. Computer programmers never realized this and started using numbers like 6.0.8 instead of 6.08.
