Mac OS 10.6 Reference In iPhone SDK Beta 6
While not earth-shattering, this would seem to indicate that Apple does plan to continue using the Mac OS 10.x numbering scheme for its next release.
It's not really a big deal, it's quite obvious that Apple will eventually release a 10.6. They may very well go all the way to 10.9, although no prior version of Mac OS has ever had a point release higher than 7. (There was a Mac OS 7.7, and Mac OS 8.7 was rebadged as Mac OS 9.)
I think they will cling to that roman X for dear life and go up to 10.9.9 if necessary... they kind of painted themselves into a corner by making the X such a huge part of the branding.I think they will cling to that roman X for dear life and go up to 10.9.9 if necessary... they kind of painted themselves into a corner by making the X such a huge part of the branding.
I'm kinda thinking they will go for "11" rather than "XI"... I know which of the two any graphics designer would prefer to play around with when designing packaging etc.

Bah! Let's not beat around the bush here: it's going to be OS X until Steve Jobs (or perhaps his successor) is simply tired of the X. that alone would be reason enough.
