Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I suspect they will be wanting to get as much money out of this release as possible, seeing as it's taken far longer than scheduled to get it out.
On your point about it not being revolutionary - it's not supposed to be. Apple OS upgrades are evolutionary, not revolutionary. Microsoft favours the revolution approach ... and Vista is a cack-handed mess.
It has some nice touches I would like to have, such as the extension of the album art browser used in iTunes to the Finder, and the ability to roll back to older versions of files (how often I've done a 'save' and then wished I hadn't ... ). As you say though, I will wait a while and then hit eBay.
