10.0= cheetah
10.1= puma
10.2= jaguar
10.3= panther
10.4= tiger
10.5= leopard

It maybe years before a new release after they release leopard but what do you think will be next?
Lion? Lynx? Ocelot? Cougar? or will they possibly move to a house hold cat? Tabby? Manx?

I'm guessing Leopard will be the end of OS 10. There are no good cats left. But "Guinea Pig" might be a fitting name for OS 11.

I'll throw in a vote for Cougar. I think they should have saved Cheetah for later or last.

Maybe a new product: an OS portable for the iPhone and call it "Hello iKitty), but need something for the guys . . . tigercub? (the name of my lawn mower)

What will the next series be named after? Can't think of another good line of animals, besides, it's played out. How about powerful natural events like Gyser, volcano, or avalanche
