Thats genius. I just took out my old Powerbook that still had Panther on it and I DID find a tiger image. So far, the pattern you suggested goes back to 10.3. Sadly, I seem to have lost my 10.2 discs so can anyone else help us out and see if this pattern goes back any further? I think there is a good chance that ActionJaxon figured out the name for 10.6

Can anyone confirm firstly if Pather does include a Tiger image, and if so does the pattern continue backwards? Ie - a Panther image within Jaguar etc?
As for box art - the Leopard box art wasn't Leopardy in any way. Maybe Zebra will have a picture of the moon surface on it?
I agree. Sometime in the middle of 2009 will be the first time we hear the name for 10.6

All this talk of resolution independence, and we had Display PostScript and NeWS decades ago.
I cannot imagine why that technology only made it through to Mac OS X in muted form (Quartz 2D)--other than licensing issues. They had to have known the direction monitors were going in, and could have predicted the need for a resolution-independent UI.
Everyone in software engineering at NeXT knew of the need for Resolution Independence, but the hardware wasn't fast enough then.

I expect the name of 10.6 will be announced at WWDC 2008. If we're lucky, we might see the release at WWDC 2009.

Support for BluRay is just a driver. It will probably be in 10.3 or 10.4.
And what exactly is this fourth dimension? Because if it's a typo, we already have a 3D Dock. Unless you mean true 3D, which would require a holographic projector. And somehow, I don't think the Doc wants to spare his mobile emitter...

A landmark event. In more ways than one.
Everything Mac. Everything iPhone. San Francisco, June 9-13, 2008.
With the development opportunities of the iPhone platform added to those of Mac OS X Leopard, this year's Apple Worldwide Developers Conference promises to be the most exciting, informative conference ever. Don't miss this chance to see the latest technology and meet the engineers behind the two most innovative platforms for your creativity.
Does anyone have a machine with 10.2 installed, and if so, can you confirm there is an image of a panther in it?
No "Panther" image in the Jaguar installation package, sorry - actually I also checked the 10.1.2, 10.1.0 and 10.0.0 Installation CDs, but there was no "fur" image at all.
And yes, I had a little bit too much free time today
i know this is a waaaaaays down the road, but once OS 10 is done, what will apple call the operating system? OSXI ? We've all relied on calling it OSX, but I've thought of this a few too many times.. I hope they don't try to reinvent the wheel and pull a Vista.

The fourth dimension is the RDF of course!
