I hope to God, Apple will NEVER NEVER NEVER use Lion because all the names they have used so far have given me the impression the OS is a predator where each "kill" equals:
a user that stops using another OS (switcher)
a user that adds OS X to the home so a newer other OS is not purchased (includer). OS X will run new software (new, equivalent, Mac version), and the other OS will run "legacy" software (old, no equivalent, other OS version only)
There is nothing predatory about the lion's demeanor because the male:
is usually shown laying down and yawning.
looks bored.
rarely hunts (females do the hunting)
it's walking looks more like schlepping
On the other hand, pumas, jaguars, panthers, and tigers always look like they are stalking prey, and cheetahs can get up to 70 m.p.h. The only other names I can think of that give me a predatory image are:
Tiger will be my first Mac OS "upgrade" (switched Nov. 2003) and I am going to do a clean install. I will most likely go the extra mile and zero out my drive.
What I am doing might be overkill, but my reasons are:
Hard drive is only 40GB
Read that Archive and Install is not 100% accurate.
I want no trace of Panther on my system.
Only have 9 application to reinstall (10 if you count Norton which I am not)
I can move my personal files (mail, ical, iTunes and iPhoto libraries, etc.) to my Win2K machine while I install Tiger.
