I remember a past keynote where people jumped on Jobs for  accidentally mis-pronouncing "OS X" as "o-s-ex" once during his speech, whereas the "official" Apple pronunciation has always been "o-s-ten". Yes, Mac people are crazy.

My understanding is that "Mac OS X" is the name of the operating system 
(like OS/2 and Microware OS-9), whilst 10 (actually 10.0.x, 10.1.x ... 
10.4.6) are version numbers (see 
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/). This means that some day 
we will have Mac OS X 11...
