I say OS "X" when around PC people and OS 10 when around Mac people.

I think it should be pronounced as the letter X since it is referenced as "OS X 10.0.4"

Not so much questioning it as looking for some sign of it.

I never really thought about it until last year when I went up to a Mac rep at MWNY and said, "OS ex". After I got a funny look I said "OS ten", I guess that is the right way .

Can't wait to go to MWNY again. I won't be attending the keynote sadly (the company I go through wouldn't pay for it), but I plan on getting updates from my Visor. How I love being a geek .
