So... Oh Ess Ten Ten Point Ten? Is that how it's pronounced? I suppose it's better than OS X X.X.
- e40 12y agoThey already dropped the first ten. It's OS 10.10.
- bliggity 12y agoApple is definitely printing "OS X 10.10": http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2014/05/osxyosemitefall.jpg http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2014/05/osxyosemitefall...
- Watabou 12y agoThat is not an official Apple image.
- __david__ 12y agoThey certainly haven't dropped the X. https://developer.apple.com/osx/whats-new/ https://developer.apple.com/osx/whats-new/ On the download page they call it "OS X v10.10"
- xtian 12y agoYou wouldn't call it Windows Eight Eight Point One, would you?
- bliggity 12y agoI think printing it as "OS X 10.10" is just a shorthand for "OS X (10.10)", which is necessary since combining roman numerals and digits (i.e. 'OS X.10') is awkward. You would still say it as "Oh ess ten point ten."
- frik 12y agoOS X (previously Mac OS X) is the successor of Mac OS 9. X stands for 10 in roman numerals: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals For marketing reasons (as some don't know about roman numerals), Apple writes it like this OS X 10.9 or now OS X 10.10 or OS X Yosemite (instead of Mac OS X.10 or Mac OS 10.10).
- arrrg 12y agoTen ten. Alternatively Yosemite. Or OS ten Yosemite. No one will use ten ten ten.
- sanderjd 12y agoI always say Oh Ess Ex, but maybe I'm weird.
