The REAL numbering question

Do you think that it will be called "Mac OS X 10.10" or that by that time it will already be "Mac OS XI"?

I think it would be very funny to hear when it gets to "Mac OS X 10.10.10"

 

As we're about to have the release of 10.5, 10.10 is at least 5years away probably more like 10years. In that time I would not be surprised to see Apple drop the MacOS in favour of a more revolutionary OS with as yet unseen input concept etc.

 

MacOS X 11.0.

But it could be anything.

 

If Apple continues to release major revisions to OS X at the same rate that would put the release date for a 10.10 around 2014 or so. Thats a little far off, a lot can change in that time. If I had to guess I'd say they would not be calling it OS X by that point,if only for marketing reasons, even if it is still Darwin/OS X at heart.
