I tried to search the board to see if this was posted already.... since I came up empty here goes.

I found this on wikipedia under OS X. I thought it was interesting that apple already trademarked 3 additional cats. Theres room to go to 10.7 as far as cat names trademarked go.

With that said how long do you think we will be under 10.x and/or still using "OS X"?

The codenames of OS X versions are taken from large felines. Version 10.0 was codenamed Cheetah, 10.1 was codenamed Puma, 10.2 was codenamed Jaguar, and 10.3 was codenamed Panther. In January 2003, Apple registered the trademarks Lynx (not yet used), Cougar (not yet used), Leopard (not yet used), and Tiger (version 10.4, scheduled for release in the first half of 2005). Starting with Jaguar, Apple has been using these codenames officially in marketing.

Its been mentioned quite a few months back, however I don't see the need to go that far back to dig up the thread. ;) :)


OS X is a marketing name. And it support to sport a NEW next generation OS. I am sure we will not see OS 11 anytime in this decade. :)
