Definitely there will be Mac OS XI and XII And XIII and...........

It seems that Steve Jobs is back with much more enthusiasm and zeal for creation. He really deserves the credit for iTunes success as well as Mac OS X 10.3 Panther's design and stability. It really feels like Unix!

we'll spend ages on 10.4, 10.5 etc till we get to that, and from experience will have to shell out $100 every time....

When People speak of XI

It's Just a dumb misoonderspraken.

XI actually means 10.1
Basically:

XI is supposed to be X.I
I was also wondering bout this wonday when I came across a site. Turns Out the idiot was running 10.1

They just don't realise that XI = 11

Xi

When Mac OS 11 is released it will be a signifigant jump from X. Similar to (although probably nto quite as signifigant as) the jump from 9 to X. The way they have been doing it (10.1, 10.2, 10.3 etc.) when they stop calling it 10 it will be something wholly different (and I imagine extremely awesome). Maybe like those old Knowledge Navigator videos they had. I have heard that 11 will be the next releases after 10.4, but even if that is true I wouldn't expect it for atleast a couple of years after Tiger is released. There is absolutely zero info on 11 right now, so if they are workign on it, it is being kept extremely hush hush.

I thought that Mac OS 10.3 Panther was big enough to merit its own primary version number. But with 10.4 looking so cool (and still no new primary version number), it's almost as if Apple is getting bored of its own innovations.... Mac OS XI really must be a kick-A OS.
