Dead? No. The way I see it, MacOS X and the Mac platform are stable, so much so that it is boring. MacOS has just about everything covered with the Core* API suite and the Mac side is sitting on a plateau. Keynotes have been about "Oooo! Shiny!". A stable OS and platform is not impressive or press worthy. Improvements are nice but they don't Sizzle or Pop. Apple is suffering from it's own engineering success. The mobile devices are not the 100% solution and the Mac platform will be around for a long time to satisfy the market segments that are not filled by the mobile platforms but there is an entire market that is clamoring for these new devices. Why not give the market what it wants?
