Next OS X name?

What do you think the next Mac OS X will be called? I have a few suggestions:

Cheetah - because it will be faster than anything we've ever seen.

Sabertooth - because it will be unlike anything on this planet.

Or Ocelot - because it is just fun to say.

What do you think?

It won't be cheetah, its already been used - Mac OS X v10.0 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

EDIT: Nick beat me to it.

No, I beat both of you to it.

So, has the name "Cheetah" already been used?

Ok, so I didn't do my research. Replace cheetah with, um...cougar?

I'm still a little confused as to whether it's been used.

What to name the next Mac OS...

What about [size=+2]"THUNDERCAT"[/size]...Yuck, yuck, yuck!!

I know one of the MacWorld writers once referred to 10.6 as Lynx, probably about a year ago...as in, "When Lynx (10.6) comes out..." or something. Wish I could find that issue!!!

Is it time to move to 11.0?

Prolly not until they get to 10.9

Not unless we've run out of cat names!;D

Maybe with 11.0 is will be "dogs"...woof woof!

- 11.0 "Poodle"
- 11.1 "Shitshu" (can I say Shitshu )
- 11.2 "Pinscher"
- 11.3 "Beagle"
- 11.4 "Pug"
- 11.5 "Spitz"
- 11.6 "Terrier"

Doesn't seem to have the "meow" as the cat names!;D

- Nick

I'm hoping for "Mongo"

I vote for Noisy Crisket.

What about "Lion"?

They are probably saving that one for last, it is the king of the jungle ya know.

They could always do "Black Panther" or "Couger".

wasn't 10.1 ocelot, also?
