I’m alergic to cats

Apple’s new OS, 10.6 comes out tomorrow. While I love apple (run Revit on my Powerbook), I have to ask if anyone buys into the marketing. Let’s review:

Revit release names:
2009, 2010, 2011 – ok, they’re a year off, but before the ribbon, I could argue it was forward thinking.

Windows names:
95, 98, 98Me, 2000, XP, Vista, Window 7 – for a while anyway, clear. you understand which was better (let’s say more recent) than the others. For all the options to buy all the flavors of windows 7, so far I’ve been using it on the Mac, it’s been quick and responsive and a good upgrade to XP.

Apple:
Cheetah, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard. uh, what gives? Is a tiger somehow better, faster, more productive than a cheetah? what’s next? Meerkat?

oh, PS.
Apple’s new OS didn’t change the UI, they just made it faster.
