10.100 and beyond!

Most people will not see the version number at all Apple doesn't really use it in mainstream marketing. Look at the Apple.com page and Mac App Store. It's only OS X Mavericks. The version number 10.9 and 10.9.1 is only shown in the sidebar, in footnotes, release notes, tech specs and in other places people don't look.Still, to most people who use OSX Use it as they don't understand computers as well and don't care about its model number. To them 10.10 will look like 10.1 and people will google that and see the old OSX not the new. Apple put in their 30 years mac ad that it's used because it uses the same language as humans. - imagine going into apple store and saying what operating system does this run and getting back "10.10 sir - the latest and greatest!" People will already lose interest as most people in school got taught of 0.8 0.9 1.0 1.1 and so on and not how developers number things! I can tell you now that OS10.10 seems to be too complex but OS10.9 doesn't!
Even in software versions, 11.0 comes after 10.9
Keep in mind, OS X (10.0) came after Mac OS 9. Apple has kept OS numbering consistent since Mac OS 1.0 in 1984... Why stop now?
Didn't Apple say Mavericks and iOS 7 would have cross-platform AirDrop support?
When will people learn that version numbers are not decimal numbers.
Shouldn't it be OSIX? They said they wanted to name OS about beaches for the next decade. OSX was cat names. OS11 is now beaches.

Software version numbers is NOT the same as decimal numbers.

did i just read a Mac rumor?
it is. after 99.9%, you increment up to 100%, not 99.10%...because that's 99.1%, which is lower than 100%. 99.09% increments up to 99.1%.

I hope they make it exactly like iOS 7 for continuity's sake. Why go in these incremental steps when it's obvious that they will eventually shift to iOS' look entirely?
We can already see some direction to this in XCode 5.
XCode 4 looks better IMO.
I want it NOW!!! Seriously, the UI looks like iOS 6 and needs a refreshment. Of course I don't want a concept like Windows 8, just the classic OS X desktop with iOS 7 look.
Software version numbers is NOT the same as decimal numbers.
Then why is it called 10 point something?
Surely the correct way should be 10 dot 9 etc?
Whenever I see 10.10 I cringe, 10.10=10.1
I still can't believe this stupid argument about decimals still comes up all the time here.
