Definitely Yosemite!

Look how similar the pictures are! (specifically the top left mountain)

El Cap? Can we please not do that? I’m down with El Capitan, even if it is a bit many syllables. But I would call it “OS 10-point-10” every day before calling it “El Cap."

I'm not a fan of those landmark names either. It's too California-centric, too USA-centric. And some of these names could be hard to pronounce correctly if you don't speak english. Hopefully they'll stay with single-word names.

I know - El Capitan is going to be murder for people who don't speak english......

Its an American company HQ'd in Cali. So sue them for repping their home.

Had a feeling it would be Yosemite. A good name for a UI overhaul release.



Me too, but they were running out...I would have preferred them moving on to celestial objects. "OS X Orion" has a nice ring to it.

The issue is wallpapers need to be made and spacey wallpapers are way overdone. It could be a reason Apple went with landmarks, as the look can keep changing.

I think i got it...

OSX - Mountain - Primarily front-end (UI) changes in this release
ios8 - Underwater - Primarily Back-end changes in this release

Hence the contrast in above/below for both banners. Your welcome.

Seriously how many more revisions are we going to get of OS X. Isn't it time to move up to verison 11?

'the state park's El Capitan rock formation' -

It should be noted that Yosemite is a National Park, not a state park. But I do like the name better than Mavericks

For non-English, non-California, non-USA-centric, but maintaining the hard-to-pronounce requirement, they could go to great coffees, with OS X Yrgacheffe.
