Here are some other names that could make it in:
  1. Tigon
  2. Liger
  3. Cougar
  4. Sabertooth


So, I figure that will keep Apple set until 2015 but by then something new must be in the works. How about OS XI ? Or maybe just OS 11? And maybe the 11 series will be called Grizzly, Black, Polar, Koala etc. Who knows? It should be interesting none the less.

So, let me hear from you readers, what should 10.5-10.9 be called? And what about your thoughts on OS 11? Should we continue with Roman Numerals, change it to OS X Extreme or go with something else? Tell me what you think.
 OS X 10.5 and Beyond, There are Still Some Cats Left
Now that Tiger has been released we can all start guessing what Apple will call 10.5 when it comes out in a year and a half or so. Well, I am going to do you one better and give you then entire list of OS X upgrades up until they hit 10.9.9 how is that for cool? Well, first lets review what has already been released then look at my list of future names and dates.





Release Version Name
2001 10.0 Cheetah
2002 10.1 Puma
2003 10.2 Jaguar
2004 10.3 Panther

2007 10.5 Lion
2009 10.6 Leopard

I say it's Lemur

The Woo 5/11/05, 7:59 PM EDT
I say we have 5 different "Modules" for 10.5. Each module has it's own colour. You can buy the base module of the OS and install it and have an OS, but the other modules add features and unite to form one super powerful OS... Voltron!!

Jasper Van Proeyen 5/12/05, 2:32 AM EDT
I'd prefer Lynx for 10.5!

hello 5/12/05, 4:04 AM EDT
Lynx??? isn't that already a deoderant??? it is in australia anyway. there will be another lawsuit saying that potential lynx customers can't find their deoderants and have to go to work smelly, and therefore have been disadvantaged.
too bad.

mutt 5/12/05, 7:51 AM EDT
How about Tabby? Domestic Shorthair? Angora?

Tero 5/12/05, 10:09 AM EDT
I'd go for Lynx. It sounds good, works for people around the world, and would get something from here north... maybe a northern theme as well, cool blue, snowy white... or colours of northern summer when the sun doesn't set at all during nights... oh well. But seriously, Lynx sounds good.

10.5 will be Lion.

Shahid 5/12/05, 3:16 PM EDT
Isn't Lynx the name of a text based browser? That might cause some confusion. Although, it might not since it's sorta old.

Much as I wish it weren't I must agree with you. Also, I envision Apple doing a "King of the Beasts"/"King of the Operating Systems" marketing theme.

It will be interesting.

yo 5/12/05, 6:48 PM EDT
there will be no 10.5 right to 11... longhorn vs. os XI

oldster 5/13/05, 10:46 AM EDT
Chupathingy.

bocha 5/13/05, 12:46 PM EDT
Why not platipus ? That would break all paradigms and prevent copying from you know who...

baghira 5/13/05, 2:32 PM EDT
it should be "faster pussycat" !!!

Meandnoother 5/13/05, 11:10 PM EDT
Apple already registered those cats:
Lynx, Cougar, Leopard

3 more to go!

Stevie Stets 5/14/05, 10:22 AM EDT

tobobo 5/15/05, 10:22 AM EDT
lion? wat? i thought tiger didn't have a ring to it, and now this...

lynx all the way.

< > 5/22/05, 4:06 PM EDT
Wouldn't the release dates be
"2005, 2006, 07, 08, 09"?
Since, afterall, Apple updates the OS Every _year_

"Wouldn't the release dates be

"

Think Apple mentioned some time ago that they'll be slowing down their new OS releases after Tiger. They've spend a lot of research $$ over the past few years and are probably heading in new directions now.....oooh the possibilities ("Minority Report" hologram GUI anyone?)

Neville Bacon 5/25/05, 3:47 PM EDT
I think it's unfortunate that all of you feel it's necessary to make fun of a company that makes the computers and the OS(es) that we all love and cherish so much. Maybe we can think of better things to make fun of and GROW THE FFFF UP!

And furthermore, please note that I am only kidding.

I bet for an Indian, shooting an old fat pioneer woman in the back with an arrow, and she fires her shotgun into the ground as she falls over, is like the top thing you can do.
