Methinks we are back to the roots: Cougar, also called MOUNTAIN LION, or PUMA, or PANTHER... (from the dic in Lion)
10.0 - Cheetah
10.1 - Puma
10.2 - Jaguar
10.3 - Panther
10.4 - Tiger
10.5 - Leopard
10.6 - Snow Leopard
10.7 - Lion
10.8 - Mountain Lion
Maybe 10.9 will be Alley Cat.😁
I vote for Cattus Thraex, which means ‘Thracian Cat’. It is high time for historical felines.
System Requirements
A wide range of Apple's products from 2007 and 2008 are being dropped regardless of whether they include a Core 2 Duo processor. Mountain Lion's developer preview appears to do away with support for any Mac that cannot boot into OS X's 64-bit kernel. The list of supported Macs for 10.8 includes:
• iMac (mid 2007 or later)
• MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
• MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, 2.4/2.2 GHz), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
• MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
• Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
• Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
• Xserve (Early 2009)

What happens when Apple runs out of "Big Cats" to name their software after ?
I vote for Grey Tabby.
How about Garfield, then Hobbes...etc.
Or Cheshire? Tom?
Based on Apple's advertising, how about "iPad Pro"?
They want to turn our Macs into iPads? Have at them. But don't expect me to stick around. I may develop a new interest in Windows. Not because I want to, but because Apple forces my hand. I don't want a device, I don't like devices, I just want a quality OS for my MacBook Pro and Air that is reflective of 2012 technology. So far, Snow Leopard beats the pants off of Lion. If Mountain Lion is more of the same, I'd say Apple is in for a long slide...down. An article in Forbes suggested that while some analysts maintain that Apple will reach to or near the $2,000/share level, others predict that it will fall precipitously to $200+ precisely because it looses touch with its buyers. I'd say Apple is on the edge of the precipice due to its one-way relations with its computer users and how it manipulates them to defeat their own best interests.
10.8 Mountain Lion is coming this summer
