OS Ten or OS Ex...?

Le Samourai · 5 Sep 2008 at 16:51

'Ex' here too.

NeXTstep was part of its history... I'll include the X from that!

Although when OS 11/XI comes out that'll need to be 'Zee'

That'll be Eleven when that comes out....to me anyway

I say we need a poll to answer this ponderous subject despite the fact that it is ten.

Win...dow....

oh

Leopard

At the risk of sounding like a fanboy (Not that I care anyway)

It's pronounced OS Win

.....

Edit...as in Win....not Windows

Mac OS Ten. Anything else and Jobs will send the boys round.

Sure Feek, I'd love to but there is a bit of a problem getting through his Reality Field. Also I am fresh out of black turtle necks.

That's the gayest post ever in the Apple forums. Shesh I though I was an Apple fanboi!

Don't care..I'm still in 'Ive just moved from a lifetime of Windows to a Mac' mode....so it's both forgivable AND allowed

I can show that all the "Mac OS Ex" people are, actually, wrong

Open Up TextEdit
Type "Mac OS X"
Right/CTRL Click > Speech > Start Speaking

Bow down to your "Mac OS Ten" overlords

If anyone asks what OS you're running, just say "Apple Macintosh Operating System 10.5.4 codename Leopard".
After repeating that for a couple of times, you really just wanna pronounce OS X instead

It's Ten, but anyway I just thought, "oh ess eleven" sounds rubbish. Although by then the OS may be controlled by the power of your mind, with your eyes occasionally turning into spinning beach balls which is fixed by a sharp smack to the back of the head.

OK I'll let you off. Welcome to the life-long Apple club.

Thanks. Do I get a snazzy little wallet, membership card and badge, like I did when I joined the beano club?
