Cheetah was code name for Mac OS X 10.0 as it says on the web page it is Snow Leopard, but I think it might change, hopefully c`mon snow-leopard what is with that, I hope it has more features, but you never know, lets wait and steve will tell us.

Guess Craig is right…”Snow Leopard” is next. What about after that?….

Cheetah’s aren’t big cats, but I suppose that Apple could ignore that…

My vote goes to Ocelot, mostly because it puts a smile on my face!

Lynx or Cheetah. Lynx is by far the coolest cat name.

Man, I hope apple delivers. I just bought 16K of their stock yesterday @ 187. I wrote more about it here -

and am hoping they over deliver as usual. Hoping the new OS is better recieved than Vista (the last big software launch by Microsoft)

@ #13:
Andrés Gallaraga…I like that! :P

Sabretooth is freaking awesome.

But in order of coolness and likelihood of actually being used, I agree both Ocelot and Lynx sound cooler than Lion.

Even though it’s the last and king of the big cats (but not the biggest), something tells me that Steven Jobs is not going to go for Mac OS X Lion.

And Cougar is, I think, still possible.

Lnyx – it just sounds cooler

Looks like “Lion” is it…I do like Ocelot…unless we start going back and call it Sabretooth or Sabre? But that whole extinct thing might work against the marketing. I don’t care what they call it, I’m sure it’ll be the “Cat’s Meow”…just puuuuuurrrrfect!

I say Ocelot; I don’t care how big or small it is

I vote for a smaller cat: Chartreux

Wait did I miss “Cheetah”? Was that before or after Jaguar…so confused. How ’bout “Patience” named after Catwoman?

The only big cat name as yet unused (since Puma and Cougar are the same species) is Lion, but that seems pretty boring (if not even cowardly), although as king of beasts it might be the final Cat name.

So we have to go to smaller cats like Lynx, Ocelot, Wildcat, Bobcat for a truly different species, and it makes little sense to move out of the family of big cats.

I’m at a loss, but I think Siamese is unlikely.

I wonder if it will get a visually update or perhaps multiple themes available.

If they don’t then I don’t really consider it as a “new” OS, but more like a Service Pack.
