Consumer OS.

Still; I love it.

I also have been using OS X professionally in the 3D animation market... it's not a 'consumer' OS. Though you could successfully argue that it is consumer-friendly.

Only Apple could release OS X 10.9.2 so quickly.

I guess that's literally true. It would be quite a shock if Microsoft or someone else released OSX 10.9.2.
