[QUOTE="surfwax95, post: 204424, member: 12561"] Correct, X stands for "10" and should be pronounced like that, but most people call it "Oh Es Ecks". Before that it was called OS9, which ended at 9.2.2. [url=http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/osx/history.html]Brief History of OSX[/url] "At the time of this writing, Mac OS X has seen four major releases: 10.0 ("Cheetah", March 24, 2001), 10.1 ("Puma", September 29, 2001), 10.2 ("Jaguar", August 13, 2002), and 10.3 ("Panther", October 24, 2003)." Panther ended at 10.3.9 and after that writing, in April '05, Apple released 10.4 ("Tiger"). We're awaiting 10.5("Leopard") which is due late this year or early '07. [/QUOTE]
