I guess to be 100% fair to Apple. "El Capitan" would be the 3rd OS name (Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan) since we've had the cat names.
Maybe back in 2002 when the 3rd "cat name" came out (Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar)...and if we were having this same conversation. Maybe a lot of us wouldn't be all that crazy about the cat names either.
So "El Capitan" may not seem all that exciting. Maybe Apple has a plan with these names...and we'll have to see where they go with it!

In all fairness, I was talking more of the OS than a name. My post earlier, referenced the name, as being "just another bloody big rock to me"
You bet I am! And, it was nice to see Toronto on the small list of 10 non-Chinese cities getting support on day one.
This is getting really tiresome especially since much of the functionality noted today came from elsewhere (let's not pretend that multitasking on tablets and Apple's version of Aero Snap are original innovations here). You want to poke fun at other platforms inadequacies when it comes to adoption? Fine but then be prepared to defend why it is that you copy the functionality that different platforms have had for years. This sniping at other platforms and the problems that come with it apply elsewhere as well (I'm looking at you Microsoft and Google).
You better tell that to their marketing team who seem to think that everything they produce is the most exciting thing ever. And, let's not forget a post I made a few weeks back noting how excited you get by just about everything Apple does.
