Mac OS X Lion

[g3ski]

"Mac UranOS X"

yeah, get my OS out of Uranus!!

"Mac UranOS X"

I think it's already trademarked by M$, they call it Vista.

I also read 10.6 might be it. But if 10.6 is the last X then what about 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9.?

Thanks,

What about 10.1.6 or 10.1.7, etc 10.2.9

What about them, they don't have to be used apple could switch to whatever the hell they want.

I bet that will be the name of Mac OS X 10.6, being the last OS X version and given the fact that the lion is the king of the feline family.

This post was by far my laugh of the day.

(...I honestly think we have these threads almost eveyday, somewhere on this entire forum...)

I am really, really hoping for OSX kitten, kittypuff, or kittypie

Psshhfff... everyone knows the next version will be Mac OS X 10.6 Lynx.

OS X Cheetah ... the fastest cat yet!

Can anybody remember back to the old days?
Going from MacOS X 10.4 to 10.5 is a reference release, so we have to pay for it.
What was a reference release in the old system? Going from 7.5 to 7.6, or OS 7 to OS 8?

If the later, this means we are actually going onto OS 16 and they are just using the 'X' due to brand awareness.

For my two cents, when we run out of cats I want them to be named after British battleships, which are named after virtue names rather than the American system of people and places!
OSX Fearless
OSX Indefatigable
OSX Vengeance
OSX Battleaxe
OSX Vanguard
OSX Invincible
OSX Illustrious

as i read your statement i actually read Linux instead of lynx...i think apple may just stay away from that one

Lions really aren't the king of all cats. I think a tiger would destroy a lion.

Agreed - except Tigers dont hunt in packs, Lions do...

Please bear in mind that 'Lynx' sounds an awful lot like 'Linux', and so Apple might wait until Mac OS is a little more established before calling it this.

"Hey! I hear you dropped Windows."
"Yeah, i'm on Lynx now."
"Oh really? Like, Ubuntu Lynx?"

Don't you mean Lynx, the reliable, friendly text-only Web browser from the old days before Netscape? When browsing the web was 90% looking at the "Requesting document -- Please wait" prompt?

Sorry for this flashback.
