Lion: King of beasts. Lion: King of OS X big cat releases -- Last 10.x?

  One could go in almost any direction, like bible codes[1], by trying to infer things from the nature of the particular cat in question. For example, "Lions are unusually social compared to other cats,"[2] which means that MacOS X Lion could have social networking as its main feature. Just pick what you hope for the most and find a way to tie it to the critter. I only wish they had gone with "Liger".

    Nah. I think alternate interpretations would be comparatively obscure, at least in the US/UK :-)

  If they had a sense of humour they'd release "OSX Kitten" after "OSX Lion"

  There was nothing leopardy about Leopard and nothing tigery about Tiger so I would expect there to be nothing liony about Lion.

    They held the obvious big cat name back for this special purpose! .....Yes, I'm going off the rails now.

    10.0 ("Cheetah") was at least supposed to be cheetahy--i.e. really fast--at least compared to the Public Beta. That was the main focus of improvement there.
