"This is something I never thought I'd hear myself say - or maybe I should say, see myself type - about an Apple operating system: Mac OSX Leopard was released before it was ready. This operating system needed more testing on more systems with more hardware, and especially, more software configurations. The days of Apple computers operating with just the Mac OS and Adobe Photoshop installed, and practically nothing else to speak of, are long gone, and Apple knows this as well as anyone. This operating system was not properly beta tested, and Apple's customers are paying for it, with lost productivity and inoperative computers."

Calling it a BSOD or not really depends on what you define BSOD as.
A BSOD on windows is usually a hard stop displaying an error message
The issue on Mac merely appears to be the os failing to load the login window. The desktop is still active and the cursor is there. This is not an error message.
I can see both sides of the argument.
