Mac OS X Naming Scheme/What comes after Mountain Lion etc. [Threads Merged]

[SnowLeopard2008]

They haven't used "Cat". It's so simple and easy to say and remember. Isn't that Apple's style? Simple.

 

[WhackyNinja]

Bobcat.

 

[Justinhub2003]

Nittany Lion.... After Penn State.



Wave never mind, that would be a PR dissater

 

[numbersyx]

Bobcat, Caracal, Clouded Leopard, Jaguarundi, Lynx, Ocelot, Serval

Some of those aren't too big though....

 

[URFloorMatt]

Well aren't there any other cat names left? I don't think we'll see OS XI for another 7-8 years.

I like Leo, personally. It would be a nice transition from cats to constellations.

Apple has said there's going to be an OS X update every year. Whether in 2014 we get OS XI or OS X 11, doesn't really matter to me. But given the merging going on between OS X and iOS, maybe we should start referring to it as OS Xi.

The next version of OS X? It's gonna be called "iOS 8".

Oh give it a rest

Garfield? (If they can work out the legal stuff.)

The real question is, after Mac OS X 10.8 is there going be a 10.9, and then a 10.10??

Or will there be an OS 11?

What is Apple going to do? Will there be a Mac OS 11? Or will Apple buy the rights to X11 and call it that? Or will they call it something else like "Mac OS Andromeda"

 

[OverSpun]

Liger.

There is nothing better than Ligers.

 

[SpyderBite]

Per Sheldon Cooper: OS X 10.9 Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty, Little Ball of Fur...

 

[jmanley1]

How about White Lion?

 

[aaronvan]

Lynx

That could cause mass confusion and panic amongst Lynx browser aficionados. Dare Apple offend that user base?

 

[ugahairydawgs]

The next version of OS X? It's gonna be called "iOS 8".

We get it....you don't like ML or the direction of OS X. You can quit beating that dead horse any time now.

 

[Southernboyj]

Gonna use the dog family, OS X Wolf

 

[Jameson.Kusch]

Gonna use the dog family, OS X Wolf

I'm liking this idea! Think about it, OSX WOlf, OSX Warewolf, OS X Canine, all these possibilities.
