Jumping over to Family Canidae from Family Felidae, would you upgrade from a Chihuahua that shits on your keyboard to a Golden Retriever that fetches beer and Hot Pockets? I sure would.
That's about the difference that Tiger is going to be over 10.0 (Cheetah).

The way it should work is x.y.z
z: Bug fixes
y: New features
x: Backwards compatibility break
Does that mean Windows XP should really be called Windows 3.15.8734?

Well, people refer to OS X as "Oh, sex", so adding the I on the end would make it "Oh, sexy!"

You probably want to drop the z value a bit

I don't know about this whole point release thing. I mean, personally, I want my operating system to go to eleven. OSX doesn't go to eleven!

BALDERDASH! Everyone knows that Jaguars run faster than Panthers, and Panthers can run faster than Tigers!
My thoughts would have been they'd start with the slowest cat, and move onto the fastest cat with later releases: Tabby, Ocelot, Lion, Tiger, Jaguar, Panther, Cheeta, etc... But what would happen once they got to the fastest cat? Move to birds or lizards? I'd personally hold out to see a Mac OS X : Komodo, or OS X: Jesus Lizard . :D
