Mac OS X Code Names
Some days I just don't bother trying to figure out the internet. For no earthly reason, the largest search engine traffic I get is from people looking to find out what the code names for the releases of Mac OS X were.
Here's the list of versions with cat names:
- Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah
- Mac OS X 10.1 Puma
- Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar
- Mac OS X 10.3 Panther
- Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
- Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (not out yet)
Now, go impress your friends!
Soapbox on code names
As an aside, let me point out how bothersome it is reading or conversing with someone about operating systems while using their code names. Rather than use the proper numbering convention (giving a sense of continuity), people use the esoteric production title. Most of the search keywords point out that nobody can keep the order strait. Marketing breaks functionality.
I make it a point to only use the number version for each release of Mac OS X (e.g. 10.5). Hopefully the world will jump on the bandwagon.
