| The real question is... what will come after X (unix) ? If anything.

| I think they'll stay with 10.x till they reach 10.7 or 10.8, and only then go to 11 (or XI). I agree, it sounds weird if you say: Mac OS Ten, Ten point xxx. But most people anyway don't say that. Most (from what I heard) say Mac OS Ten Point Four (or whatever) or say Mac OS Ex point xxx.

As for the X, they might as well jump to D, 500, as in BSD, since bsd may be well known by then... not very probable, but it they want a Roman number that has some relationship to what Darwin is based upon, that's the only thing I can think of at the moment. Ferdinand, I have seen my teacher call his system OSX.4.8 in the school forums... I kinda adopted that!!

| Maybe your teachers mind is already in the future!  So what does he really have? Mac OS 8.x or does he have OS X?

| Ohh opps, he really said OSX.4.8 in the school forums, not OSX.8!! Sorry for the typo, but it is really Mac OS X 10.4.8 Tiger in Apple-speak. BUt meh, like in my sig, I just call mine Tiger.8

| Maybe we should simply start writing to Apple about 11. We should state that we *don't* want anything called Mac OS XI 11.2.3 "Moose". I didn't remember the "Elephant" first, but of course it makes perfect sense for 11.0.
