Mac OS X/XI cat names
Which cat names will Apple choose for future Mac OS releases? Here's my speculative guess. What do you guess? Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.7 Lion How will they continue when no more cat names are left?

Maybe they'll discontinue using cat names when they reach Mac OS XI, because it'll be a new OS clearly seperating itself from Mac OS X. However, what new name convention could they decide to go for? I personally love the current names!
By the way, Apple trademarked several cat names including Tiger, Leopard, Lynx and Cougar in 2003! The trademarks were filed under the category of "computers; computer software; computer operating system software."

My Guesses
I have no idea But i wonder what would Apple do if they used all cats names hehe ( i know it's probably impossible, there's so much of them but still... ) - so the same question which Puttabong asked. Anyway, i wonder if they'll name next version Mac OS XI or they'll stick with X as a name rather than a number.
