We get people in #ubuntu-uk asking for help. They mostly say things like:- "The latest one" "8.04" "How do I find out?" If they're 'one of us' they might well say 'lucid' or 'gutsy'. > Now, which of the following is more likely: > "What version of Mac OS are you running?"

I actually am typing this on a Mac and I have to make some effort to find out what version of OSX it is because I don't know. So it's not _quite_ the same. We brand with numbers and use codenames during development, Apple use the codename _as_ the brand.
