Do you mean me? What's wrong discussing the answers?

MacOS X (11.0 build???????????)

All the other one look xxxxxx!

I also think this will be the name.

I remember how stupid I thought this is when I heard Apple wants the 'X' to be pronounced '10' and saw the naming "Mac OS X 10.0"

That is just stupid. What do these Apple marketing guys think?

I am really looking forward to "Mac OS Ten Eleven-Point-Ouh"

Yeah, but Germany (where he posts from) We Germans often do the fault to translate it with point, since we say "Zehn Punkt Null", which - theoretically - translates to ten point zero. We are not used to the fact that you say "dot" to the comma or point in such a case.

Dot? I say point and I'm in Canada. 10 dot 1? Its 10 point 2!

*grumbles*

of course we should all say dot because thats what Americans must say

kidding

America rules us all anyway. One day we'll all be Americans. The world's degenerating. Hmm... If we stop saying 'dot', maybe there will be a point.com decade ahead of us?

Back on topic: It was a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad move to call 10.0 'Mac OS X 10.0'. I hope they (Apple) will find a nice way out before it *really* backfires. "Mac OS Ten 10 dot what? Sounds clever..."

yeah it was a bad move. Its confusing and as you may have seen in the 10 or EX thread some people take it way too seriously. I think they will probably just go to OS 11 the double 1s look kind of cool.
