Or Ocelot, or Tabby, or Persian, or Manx (this one could have gone well
with the release of the wireless mouse and keyboard), or ... ;-)
There are 37 species of cats in this list (including "Domesticated
Cat", which in itself would have lots of breeds).
http://www.wildcatsanctuary.org/education/species/
BUT, I'm not sure how trustworthy that list is. For a start it is
missing Panther and has Puma listed as a "Small Cat". :-\

One of the big(ish) rumours at the beginning of the year was that Mac
OS X 10.9 would be called Lynx. :-)
Apple simply ran out of big cat names. Coming down from Lion (or
Mountain Lion) to Lynx might have been considered to be sending the
wrong "message" about it being less powerful or some such marketing /
pshco-babble nonsense.
They should just get rid of the silly names completely. It's much
easier to know that "Mac OS X 10.9" is newer than "Mac OS X 10.6",
rather than trying to figure out where in the timeline the different
silly codenames fit.

The codenames are the names most people know. They are much easier for people to keep track of than a number. -- 'It's still a lie. Like the lie about masks.' 'What lie about masks?'

Maybe I'm more the numbers guy, remembering that I jumped from 6.0.8 via 7.0.1 til 7.6.1 to 10.3, upgrading until 10.6.8 and now maybe waiting for 10.9.1 to jump in again. Tell me, which one was Capone? - Martin

Exactly. Most normal people use numbers to indicate a series, not random silly names. If someone says they're using Leopard and someone else says they're using Mountina Lion, only the geeky folls who have memorised all the code names know which is the newer / better. If someone says they're suing 10.6 and someone else says they 10.8, then it's immediately obvious. Of course, the problem with Apple's 10.Y numbering system is what is going to come next? 10.10? It would work for humans, but it's going to screw up many computer sorting systems. They should have simply done the obvious and called it Mac OS X 1, Mac OS X 2, Mac OS X 3, etc.

Why would Mac OS X 10 vs. Mac OS X 1 sort any better than MacOS 10.1 vs MacOS 10.10? Oh, BTW - I sometimes hate how the Finder does sort, since the Finder sometimes claims to know better than I do how to sort by numbers. However, see http://666kb.com/i/cisd4qnqcnkyd5lc7.gif

Not having it would simply make the name less cumbersome ... unless Apple is planning NOT to have "Mac OS X 10.10" and instead move to "Mac OS Y 1.0" or "Mac OS XI 1.0". ;-)

Ah, so you may call it MacOSX for the whole family, but should use MacOS 10.6, MacOS 10.7, MacOS 10.10, but not MacOSX 6, MacOSX 10, ... > Apple is planning NOT to have "Mac OS X 10.10" and instead move to "Mac > OS Y 1.0" or "Mac OS XI 1.0". ;-) Don't know what they are up to, but they might use hex as well: MacOS 10.6 MacOS 10.9 MacOS 10.A MacOS 10.F
