Yeah well I always get a kick out of the way people look at the naming scheme. Mac OS X, Jobs said, would last ten years. They are releasing one feature release per 12-15 months [ie not a bug fix but a feature release, the difference is why they charge]. At that rate we will be at 10.8 or 10.9 when we are ten years out from the 10.0 release. So at that point I don't think we will be looking at a v.11.0 I think we will be looking at a next generation OS and/or a new direction. But yeah, we are always looking forward or backward ... and complaining about both, Mac users seem more vocal than anyone about it.

OK..... OK.......I was a bit harsh in my evaluation of the last few
incarnations of 10.2. My opinion of the entire OS was formed by my
disappointment in what the first OS X promised and what it delivered. I only
"dabbled" in the Jaguar series and only focused on Panther after I got a G4
and could feel the fluidity of the system. By the time Apple releases
"Ocelot" 10.8 (a fictional OS), we'll all be looking for "Cheetah" OS XI
because of the promised new "bells and whistles" it'll have to run the new
G5-dual 4gig models. Mikie
