[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1747546, member: 46727"] Not sure that's right Jake. Most folks say that Jobs named the version of OS X after his combining of the original Mac OS (thru OS 9) with NeXT, hence OS EX not OS 10. So I believe the correct pronuciation is in fact OS EX not OS TEN. Read below from Wikipedia: [B]In 1997, Apple acquired and merged NeXT, allowing Jobs to become CEO once again, reviving the company at the verge of bankruptcy. Beginning in 1997 with the "Think different" advertising campaign, Jobs worked closely with designer Jonathan Ive to develop a line of products that would have larger cultural ramifications: the iMac, iTunes and iTunes Store, Apple Store, iPod, iPhone, App Store, and the iPad. Mac OS was also revamped into OS X (renamed “macOS” in 2016), based on NeXT's NeXTSTEP platform.[/B] [/QUOTE]
