![]() We can't predict what the next version of OS X will be called, other than that it will be named after a famous Californian landmark or location. With all this in mind, the name Apple gives to OS X is what is important. So, could OS X 10.11 be the last version of OS X with more minor updates happening regularly rather than once a year? Apple already issues sequential updates throughout the year, but we don't think it will stop producing the more major, yearly update. This doesn't mean it won't ever update Windows again, just that it is changing it into a service that will see regular updates, rather than software that gets a massive update once a year. Microsoft has said that Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows. There's another reason why Apple might not release OS X 10.11 as OS X 10.11. The only place you will see the numbers is on the Mac App Store when you go to download it and in About This Mac, when you check the version of the OS you are running. So maybe Apple should drop the numbers altogether, in many ways it has, in all its marketing materials and all over the website Yosemite is never referred to as OS X 10.10. With iOS 9 soon to arrive, the true confusion of the numbering will really become apparent next year when Apple launches iOS 10 Maybe then the two operating systems will merge - otherwise the following year we would have iOS 11 and OS X 10.13 and that would just be silly. Perhaps this is why Apple now focuses on the operating system's more friendly name, either the Californian landmark (Yosemite or Mavericks) or big cat (Lion, Snow Leopard, and so on). We imagine that when Apple named the operating system OS Ten all those years ago they didn't expect to eventually be talking about OS Ten, ten dot eleven. One of the first things people are likely to complain about is the numbering of OS X 10.11, just as last year when people got into a debate about whether a release should be numbered OS X 10.10 or if that should role over to OS X 11, or simply OS 11, given that the X is pronounced 10, as in Roman Numerals (you'd be surprised at how few people realize this). What we do know for sure is that the new version of OS X will be an improvement on OS X 10.10, and given the various issues that have plagued OS X Yosemite, this has to be a good thing. ![]() There are lots of rumours flying around the web suggesting that the latest OS X update will focus mainly on stability and security, but we are hearing there will be some new features that consumers should enjoy.
