Mac OSX Panther/Tiger/Leopard are all major advancements on the previous version; to the point where there is such a significant difference it is fair to call them new. A patch fixes an OS flaw; these are huge updates to the software itself. Major new features are built in; for example - Mac OSX Leopard is UNIX certified, meaning Apple will be one of only a few companies selling such a product.
Microsoft Service Packs do nothing but fix their OS. They could call it "Huge attempt to fix mistakes v1" but that wouldn't look well, would it?
Up until this post I didn't really notice anybody saying Apple was better than Microsoft; they were all wondering what the Service Pack was really for and why Microsoft limited the amount of keys so low and how XP Is cannibalizing the Vista market.
Way to be paranoid and jump the gun.
