So, what will the name of OSX 10.7 be?

Personally I'm hoping for "Mac OS 10.7 El Gato."

Though I really like the sound of Cougar too.

 

pink panther

 

I'm hoping for Lion! I think it's a shame they moved away from the big cat inspired packaging when Leopard came along, I much prefer it to the space theme.

 

Cougar would be my choice.

 

cub :0

whiskas..

j/k

did the cat names only start from os x?

so when os 11 comes, there will be a different "theme"?

if so, then i vote LION

 

Lynx sounds pretty damn cool, sounds like a nickname to some street talking pimp on a starsky and hutch style show

 

After Snow Leopard they could have clouded leopard.

If they are using snow leopard what happened to white Tiger (Or snow Tiger)

Has Cheetah been used? That would suggest a huge speed increase.

But I think they will use Lion for 10.10 or what ever the last OSX will be. The King of the OS's

 

cougar sounds pretty cool.

when os XI comes, watch them start using dog breeds or something. i would say birds, but ubuntu already has that

 

Snow leopard to Yeti.

 

that would actually match the current default wallpaper

 

How about, Sabertooth..




or White Tiger -

 

How about "Snow Lion"? It's a celestial animal of Tibet and symbolizes fearlessness and healing. Typically portrayed as white with turquoise or jade-green mane. Also:

"The Snow Lion resides in the East and represents unconditional cheerfulness, a mind free of doubt, clear and precise. It has a beauty and dignity resulting from a body and mind that are synchronized. The Snow Lion has a youthful, vibrant energy of goodness and a natural sense of delight."

Sounds like a great Apple creature to me--especially that bit about "natural sense of delight!

 

holy crap!!
OS X Saber Tooth - "it'll rip you apart"

 

saber tooth would be awesome

 

Yeah, let's beat this subject to death.... again!

How about a hybrid? Perhaps this:

Mac OSX 10.7 Liger: Like Tiger, only better.

 

I still think White Tiger is a good choice. A rare cat like snow leopard.

@ggjstudios, new folks may not have give it thought. Participation is always a good thing.

 

Mac OS X Hyaena - We laugh at the competition.

 

lol.

What about Panthera - it's a genus of cats (includes Leopard, Lion, Jaguar, and Tiger)

 

i'm really hoping for ocelot

 

LOLCat

 

Lynx sounds good. If they are already trademarked by Apple, then Apple is probably planning to use them in the future. I doubt that Apple will use Lion, if they haven't trademarked it though. Anyways, the name "Lion" doesn't really fit in. I like the El Gato idea too lol.
