Apple Already Working on Mac OS X 10.7 Development?

I am an Ubuntu user as well as OSX, so it's good to see that there's aiming toward the new version. Ubuntu is on a 6 month version cycle, so the next version begins almost as soon as the current one gets released.

10.6 was a yawnfest, bugs aside.

Basic rule of every version of Mac OS X: it ain't very stable until 10.x.3 and it gets really good sometime after 10.x.5.

And yeah, it is not supposed to be a wow-fest. Apple not only says so on their website, but enforces that by charging a mere $30.
 
It never fails. A couple months after each release the Apple sites get all suprised that the next OS is already in development. They'd probably be shocked to know it was in development long before SL shipped.
 
*yawn* wake me up when OS11 rolls around. I was promised the matter-transporter function...

Debate topics to look forward to
1. Marble interface or Aqua Marblequa
2. iTunes going Cocoa? finally
3. Filesystem New ZFS like filesystem, more user friendly
4. Touch enabled most likely
5. Resolution independence yes
6. Serial number/activation coming? Please, say it isn't so
7. What will it be called Cougar, Lynx, or Lion
8. When will it ship and how many delays? 2 years, approx. No delays
9. Will it run iPhone apps natively? no
10. Minium specifications? CoreDuo, 2GB RAM
11. Can pressing the green button finally make the screen fully maximize. no
12. How much will it cost? $129
13. Can someone give me the phone number of the chick on the icon of PhotoBooth.app, the glasses so hot. true that

Responses in bold.
 
Out of curiosity, how much longer will 10.x be around?

In other words, eventually Apple is going to release 11.0, right?

It would be odd if they get all the way up to something like 10.10.

No it turns out those click-ads are a scam. They take your money but they don't stop there. They bill your card with embarassing items and "subscriptions" :x I'll never let my wife get the mail again.

Already working on 10.7 wow, you mean the developers don't take a vacation until 1 month before the next release date? M.S. is "already" working on win 8 and Android devs are already working on the next android. Duh!?

I thought the same thing. Some of these articles are getting lamer and lamer...

Can't wait for Rain Leopard. :D

Sun Leopard IMO.

But really, my money is on Lynx for 10.7 and Cougar for 10.8. I think Cougar has to be on the even number, just doesn't gel otherwise.

Either way, hopefully 10.7 will fix the stacks sorting bug and improve dashboard including the 6 year old iTunes widget bugs ... sorry couldn't resist.


And I'm 99.9% sure it won't.

Semi-serious answers are semi-serious.

I thought 10.x.2 was stable enough...
 
This doesn't surprise me. I also wouldn't be surprised if it was released earlier than expected. Snow Leopard after all was just a "better Leopard" so I'd expect 10.7 to be the real McCoy. Plus Windows 7 is pretty good, as far as how it operates it is ALMOST as good as OS X so Apple needs something to really pull ahead and leave Windows in the dust. When Microsoft takes 2 steps forward Apple needs to take 4.
 
It seems to be that ppl don't want to give any chance to SL.

Wait till 10.6.5 and then complain.

Anyone remembers Tiger 10.4.3? I do. It wasn't funny at all either. Now Tiger is THE gold rock solid standard which uses only about 112 MB of RAM when booted. Delicious. :D

Actually, it makes W7 more like Mac OS 7 - gotta love the way they cling to the past with those legacy relics: The Registry, DLLs, BIOS, DRM, etc...
