Well first of all, Olympus didn't release this. If they leaked it on purpose or not, it's something we can't conclude in the end.

Making statements like "worlds fastest auto-focusing" or whatever?

This leaked document was an internal presentation inside a big company. It sets targets and all that, not for public consumption. This is pretty common of presentations like that inside companies.

And I don't know what is so innovative about releasing a "5 year in the making" pro-level replacement body with an "advanced amateur" sensor inside, either. Oh, but they may tweak the colors or dynamic range. Yippee. Only means those with the E-510 could have it to if they hacked it.

Not really- if they change the ADC or do the HDR patent. That requires some hardware unavailable with the e-510 (or e-410 for that matter).

If they patented Live View, the Dust-Busting system, etc., and were making boo-coo profits from others, then that is profit. Does it make their systems better?

Olympus keeps certain advantages. To me interface, size and value come to mind. A dual kit lens of the e-510 or e-410 is quite a value, more so considering the quality of the lenses involved, and the size of the overall system. If this doesn't represent value to you, start marking the calendar for the D300 release.
