The shocking part of his statement is that he called it a "Nice" Service Pack. Personally I would have used the term "Long overdue".
A service pack that costs the same as a new version... At least Apple doesn't claim every .x release is a new full version and charge full price... (But then, they DO charge for them still, and they are essentially service packs)
