I just had a thought. If this happened would Apple and Nintendo develop a new gaming platform for mac? Apple tv?

I want OS X Arceus. (God OS)

I think naming them after birds would be good.

Mac OS XI Falcon

Mac OS XI Raven

Mac OS XI Hawk

Mac OS XI Robin

Wow never thought of birds.. Robin sounds lame though 'OSXI Robin' lol

OSXI Falcon sounds awesome.

Mac OS XI Falcon PUNCH!!!

(Oct 16 '10 at 12:40) Feras

Lol, Mac OS XI Falcon does sound amazing!

Naming them after birds makes sense and it will imply that the OS is powerful, fast and light.

Birds are probably out of the question as the Aviary community names their popular web apps after birds like...

Raven = Vector Editor
Phoenix = Image Editor
Roc = Music Maker
Myna = Audio Editor
and more.

I think that they should name them after sharks. That, or snakes. Thus, I present to you names of OS XI 11.1-9, with both potential snake and shark names

OS XI 11.1- Hammerhead / Coral

OS XI 11.2- Great White / Anaconda

OS XI 11.3- Broadnose / Imperator

OS XI 11.4- Arrowhead / Orochi

OS XI 11.5- Hooktooth / Lyre

OS XI 11.6- Viper (a real shark) / duh, Viper

OS XI 11.7- Angelshark / Death Adder

OS XI 11.8- Horn / Garter

OS XI 11.9- Bullshark / Copperhead

As much as I think they'll be named after birds this sounds SOOO much cooler. I want OSXl Viper nooooow. D:

(Jan 18 '11 at 17:35) Mattophobia ♦

Birds would be awesome too. I saw that answer, and thought, "Oh, crap, I better come up with something good". So far, Wikipedia has never failed me.

(Jan 24 '11 at 18:41) HHBones

Don't worry. There are many CATS left to name OS after. I prefer DOGS.

3	They could move to bunnies or hamsters or otters. Everyone likes otters (extreme cuteness) answered Oct 16 '10 at 12:56 Razor512 11.2k●30●66●189 edited Oct 16 '10 at 12:58

3	They should use Chickens. Or types of beetles. Or maybe types of bacteria. ;-) answered Oct 16 '10 at 14:54 JonathanPDX 500●1●13 4 Mac OS XI Salmonella?? (Jan 25 '11 at 14:41) Feras
