Apple Has Already Started Work on Mac OS X 10.8

Well can't say as I blame them for starting on 10.8; For me, Lion is unstable (sluggish) so I went back to Snow Leopard and it was amazing.

I like lion, but hate that they removed features. (minimize toolbar, better finder, etc)


Bring it on, either 10.8 or iOS X
 
DUH!! Of course they have already started working on the next version of OSX. It wouldn't surprise me if they were working on it before Lion even shipped.
 
Yes, please! I don't like the melding of iOS (mobile) and OS X (desktop) metaphors. They should be separate, if not at least have options to turn the features off. Not a fan of how fullscreen is implemented, the login screen (prefer Snow Leopard's), Launchpad, Versions, Autosave etc...

A Snow Lion type revision would be good. Lion is a little more bloated than SL, they need to take some of that out and give back some resources to my apps.
 
I look forward to 10.8 Ceiling Cat

Cover your web cams.

Lion added few useful features for me except dropping PowerPC support, which was not something I preferred.

Unless Apple starts accelerating OSX development, I don't expect another major release until late 2012. But as long as Apple sticks to $29 upgrade fees, I'll still buy them.

It's the same in my industry; sites publish these amazing stories saying Sony are working on the PS4. Of course they are; they'll likely be working on the basic ideas of it while the PS3 is launching. Same goes for Microsoft and whatever 360 successor they're working on.

In order to stay at the top of your game you need a roadmap greater than your next product; you need to see past that.

Exactly. This isn't really "news" or even a "rumor". It's pretty much a waste of space. Apple "already started work on OS X 10.8"?? OF COURSE they have!

BTW, for MacRumors to say that "lion" seems like it's "naturally" the end of the big cat naming convention is ludicrous. Upon what basis could that be said? There was no stated heirarchy or progression for their big cat names. No rule that says each must be bigger or more fierce than the last. Different big cats have different abilities. Personally, I like pumas better than lions :)
 
Of course they are.
It would be mind boggling if they weren't working on 10.8 now -- and hadn't been since before 10.7 was shipped.
In fact, Apple is working on the next versions of almost all their products.

While it is trivial to falsify these records, the requests originated from Apple, Inc. IP addresses and surrounding areas.

Never say never. People will say anything for a few page hits or their face/website in the web news. So yeah nothing is beneath these people.

But if what you say is true then it's about right. 10.8 hope it's a good one.
 
Coooool. As much as I like OS X, within a couple years they're going to be done with 10.9, and I can't wait to see what they've been dreaming up for OS XI all this time (or if you consider iOS OS XI, then OS XII)...
 
To celebrate the time when Thunderbolt becomes useful to the masses, the next iteration should be OS X 10.8 Thundercat...
