My vote was for Liger given the tansition between two architectures.

It's a cross between a lion and a tiger. It's pretty much my favorite animal. Bread for its skills in magic.

I agree that they shouldn't call it "leopord", since that's not the name of any cat.

I have my doubts that 10.6 will ever be released.

Well it is going to be Leopard whether you like it or not. I was expected Lion, but no big deal.

I still say that need to use "Wolverine" as a name at some point, and show off a brand-new Brushed Adamantium interface. No more of this sissy aluminum stuff

I don't think there will be a Mac OS 10.6
Also, since tiger is the coolest of cats, it is hard to come up with names that will beat that.

Anyway ...
if it will be faster, why not call it Cheetah
If it is cooler, call it Lynx

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_cat for hybrid names...

OS X 10.0 was called Cheetah.
