How many .* updates does Apple usually do per OS? What time do you think it will be before OS 11/XI/whatever-its-called will be released?

I blame Apple for this. If they'd started the version numbers at 1.0 or used the Darwin version numbers, we wouldn't have this shit.
Mac OS X <- the brand 10.4 <- the version number Maybe there will be an 11.0 (after 10.9 but Apple might just call it 10.10), but Mac OS X is a brand, not a number to be incremented. Barto The sky was deep black; Jesus still loved me. I started down the alley, wailing in a ragged bass. |

I don't know, but if they don't do an ad with the Spinal Tap guy saying "... but this one goes to eleven..." I'll be sorely disappointed.

Of course, they may choose to move beyond the OS X brand like they probably should.

You could just as easily write them 10-9, 10-10, 10-11... does that help? The current OS release would then be 10-3-4. |

I thought X was in reference to UniX.
It also sounds cool as well :smokey: |

Mac os X 10,4 wil be released in 2005, one year and an half after panther. There is chance that OS 10,5 will be released two years later ...
It means that there won't be mac OS 10,10 before 2015 or 2016. At this time, we don't know if UNIX will still allow further improvements of the OS. |

Think of it this way. . .the '.' between each number is not repesenting a desimal place. It just seperates build numbers. no sig, how's that for being a rebel! |

You're not getting it. THESE ARE NOT DECIMAL NUMBERS. Otherwise, 10.3.4 would be *MEANINGLESS*. (This needs to be in a FAQ, dammit.) Build numbers are of the form: Major Build, Minor Build, Patch. 10.3.4 = Major Build 10, Minor Build 3, Patch 4. The 47th minor build of major build 1 would be 1.47 and would come *AFTER* 1.5. THESE ARE NOT DECIMAL NUMBERS. The use of the period to delineate the pieces of the build number is perhaps unfortunate... one could use *any* character. 10,3,4 or 10-3-4, or 10/3/4 mean exactly the same thing as 10.3.4. So, given that... 10.10 comes after 10.9, and before 10.11, and has *NOTHING* to do with 10.1. Got it? |

It's called a carriage return / paragraph. Learn to embrace them and be happy.
Meantime there will never be an OS XI (3L3ueN). Apple is just going to keep on adding numbers! 10.11 is going to rock in 2014! ...into the light of a dark black night. |

I know, but to most people thinking of it in decimals, the sensible thing to think the first time (Hint the word in my last most, logically) is that there are 10 major updates per major build. But yes, I do know what you're trying to say
