Mac OS X 10.6 - What should they be named?

[iVersa]

How about Sabre.

(sabre tooth)

 

[ZoomZoomZoom]

Sabre reminds me too much of the LeSabre.

I liked Cougar. Lynx is all right, but it doesn't ring with me as much as being something really solid and powerful.

 

[slooksterPSV]

Wow a lot of people like cougar, sabre would be good. When I think of Cougar I think of speed, its very fast and very efficent.

 

[srf4real]

They could borrow mt kitty's name - Hercules.

 

[Mr. Anderson]

Sabertooth!

I like that one

Or Smilodon

D

 

[dieReklamation]

How about Sphinx? Half cat, half human. .

 

[brepublican]

Gut feeling: I'm gonna go with Chihuahua.

And my gut is never wrong... unless I have to poo

 

[Infinity]

It wasn't on the list but I vote for Wildcat.

 

[MacsAttack]

Liger

<hello kitty image>

lol. Hello Kitty wins. I can just hear Steve Jobs say it... "out new Hello Kitty OS".... ok, I can't.

 

[yg17]

P*ssy

 

[XIII]

Seconded. Surely "Tabby" is a much better name.

I was thinking "Stray".

 

[markiv810]

Not a "cool" enough cat.

au contraire, I think Lion is one of the most graceful cats in the cat family.

 

[sunfast]

I'll go with Lynx. I think we'll be in trouble come 10.8 (if we get that far)

 

[funkychunkz]

What about Lion?

seconded, but personally I like mountain cats, 'bobcat' would be the dumbest. name. ever. I mean it has the word cat in it. And Bob. No one likes bob.

 

[iVersa]

I think that Leopard will probably be the last cat name they use, unless they go with Cougar

I mean any other cat name would be like a last resort, I think they'll think up a reasonably cool new 'theme' of names which they can stick to for the next bunch of releases.

I vote for Cougar since it just sounds right and has a familarity to Jaguar which everyone is accustomed to. Its definitely gonna be 10.6, I just can feel it right now.

Lynx is definitely gonna be a future version of the Mac OS, since Apple patented both names (Cougar) sometime back I believe.

I still find it hard to believe they will continue the decimal points up to 10.9 or further. Like I said in a post earlier, with Mac OS 11.0 Lynx might be used as a marketing piece to signify a link to the past and link to the next generation of operating systems from Apple. Then with 11.1 they start a new set of codenames not relating to cats. Its possible they might not even use codenames in the next generation marketing for Mac OS anymore.

Somehow, I suspect they might use names of special places like Microsoft is doing: Fiji, Vienna.

e.g. 11.1 - Negril (a beautiful place in Jamaica near the beaches)
11.2 - Maui
11.3 - Morocco

 

[Shananra]

Yea right. What's wrong with 10.10? I mean unless there is something radical they wont go to os 11 i think. Plus, if they did, they wouldnt use Lynx since it is a cat.

Also, I have a feeling apple will not copy microsoft after they make fun of them. I mean seriously

 

[Oryan]

I voted Ocelot. I'm not sure what it looks like, but it sounds cool.

 

[RichP]

Thats FTW!

Liger is runner-up

 

[beckfizzle]

Yeah Liger is FTMFW!

 

[After G]

Margay! Sounds different than the rest.
