What about the iPods? I think the new nano should be called the iPod Mini Touch. It looks kinda, weird, don’t you think? I prefer iPod Nano 5g.

In reply to Pik Spore.

Well, they may very well do 10.10, the dot is not a decimal separator. Usually the second number is the “minor release number”, but in the case of OS X it’s actually the major release number (as the first 10 is the same across all of them); the minor release number is the last one. Apple did have two-digit minor release numbers, with OS X 10.4.10 and 10.4.11, both released in the second half of 2007.
Still, I’m afraid we won’t even reach 10.9. I am strongly against a tighter integration of iOS and OS X, but it seems that that’s where we’re headed.

I hope they’ll soon start doing stuff like, 10.8 Lion or 10.9 Wolf. I really will be happy when we make it to Mac OSXI! 😀

In reply to Oscar Turner. Well, OS X is a UNIX-based operating system. Its kernel — Darwin — is a fork of FreeBSD's, and it's actually open source. Having used Linux for a long time, though, I'd rather stick to using it for server tasks only. ;)

For me, the best operating system is Linux because it rarely hangs.’;-
