Does anyone know how Apple will name this major update of the OS?
It seems like it deserves a new number but could it just be OS X 10.4?
Any opinions? Has Apple said anything? Will there be a big marketing push?
I'm looking forward to Spotlight searches...

It's just 10.4
Thus the big cat nicks.
Hmm. Or maybe that would be too strange.

Does the X even really stand for "10?" Why isn't it OS X.3.8? My impression is that the X is for the new Unix-type OS, and the 10 that comes after it is the chronological designation. So in a few years we might have OS X 11.0.

X is 10. To say "x" is actually wrong. You're supposed to say "ten".
(but who does?)

No, no, ... OS XI will be no more cats, but dinosaurs. OS XI will be called 'raptor'
Naw, it will be like livestock, first, in 2011, Apple Longhorn, beating MS by a month
Get Spinal Tap for the adverts.
"But this one goes to 11."
Only when aqua, etc. completely disappear in favor of a complete overhaul (though not quite as dramatic as the shift from 9 to X) will we see a new naming convention. I'm talking about radical UI changes and adoption of groundbreaking technologies.
There will, therefore, at least be an OS 10.8.8.
say "Mac OS X"
and hear it from the horse's mouth.
Mac Os X is the name of a Platform
and this is for a long time to come.
