Really? I thought "Performa" and "PowerMacintosh" did that quite well. Of course, that was only true in continental Europe, because in the US, for example, a Performa 6300 could also be called PowerMacintosh 6300, probably to sell it better. Either way, I clearly meant the OS and just the OS. I'm glad my iMac is not called "iMac 5300" or something like that. Although "iMac (mid 2007)" doesn't really make for good-feel differentation-name imho either.
The OS numbers, however, still have the longstanding question what will happen in 2010/2011, though. Not because "11 comes after 10.9", of course. Since 10.4.11 Apple has cleared that one up. But when introducing OS X, Steve liked to call it the OS for the next decade, and that was around 2000/2001. I don't see Apple abandoning the OS base anytime soon, but maybe we'll actually _get_ a Mac OS 11 one day..?
