Time for OS11? I think is possible. Apple is certainly not abandoning the desktop platform, so it only makes sense to go back to the drawing board for a all new OS.
Got a tip for us?

Or just start fresh with OS 11
Also, I don't think they will merge the desktop OS with the post PC OS. With lion they just wanted to bring over some of those innovations over to the mac. Which is why Lion is basically just a better snow Leopard with iOS features thrown in. Think about it. They are already trying to distance the two GUIs by making iOS dark and Mac OS white. Most of the dark elements in snow leopard (Quick look for example) have been made white or lighter. Even the blue loading bars went from an aqua blue to a lighter ice blue color.

I think Apple has been pushing their OS X developers too much. I mean, while Windows was busy making XP, Vista, and 7, Apple made upgrades for OS X almost every year.
If I was to choose, I would say OS 11. Maybe Steve Jobs will do the funeral for OS X just like OS 9?
EDIT: I just came across this article. It's a poll.

I think it will be a new operating system. With 10.7, we are seeing iOS features in it. They will probably completely combine the two and have one name. Of course, the iPad/iPhone version will be a light version of the main operating system. We all know how Apple loves unification.

That cat is amazing, I wish my cat was as playful as that one.
As for the topic I think that they'll go onto a different naming topic but keep it as OS X.
Duff-Man says....if I had $1 for every "what's the next cat" thread I think I'd get my copy of Lion free....perhaps everyone in the family.....oh yeah!

I think it's time to move on from OS X and the cats. But I agree that OS XI isn't catchy so we will most likely see something completely new. Maybe a hybrid of OSX and iOS.
