It's Napolean's too. Maybe you guys should hang out sometime.

Apple wants their OS to sound tough, not be a joke. I'm sure it's got copyrights and what-not as well now, too.

well its such a power full animal and it mixes the qualities of the tiger and lion together.

Plus Napoleon was a great guy (exceot for the egyptian incident)

I doubt "Liger" has copyrights because of Napolean Dynamite.

Anyway... I sorta think Liger would be a fitting name since that will sorta be hitting around the same time Mac is "merging" with Intel... in a funny sorta way... granted Tiger will work on the Intel machines too (actually it seems all of them will).

if i wasn't already an apple user i would switch if they called 10.5 liger. liger would have an instant advantage over longhorn just with that name.

Maybe because Apple doesn't exist to cater to your tastes. :confused:
