We’re looking for nice imagery of a “Tiger” gnawing, chewing, swallowing, mauling, or otherwise disemboweling a “Longhorn” steer (for obvious reasons). Photos, illustrations, whatever – hey, you Mac guys and gals are supposed to be “creative” and “artistic,” so how ’bout sending us something we can use to illustrate future Mac OS X vs. Windows Longhorn articles?*
It’ll take awhile before such articles will appear – it seems Microsoft isn’t quite ready 
, so we have plenty of time. Longhorn is due “sometime in 2006, maybe,” while Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger is due in “the first half of 2005.” With the image illustrating this article, we have a pretty weak starting point – someone’s got to have better.
What do you win? Nothing less than your very own photo or image credit in a very small font under the image every single time we use it! How can you beat that? So, let the entries flood forth (include the image(s) and the exact name you’d like us to use in your credit online) and we’ll share them in a future article. Email the image and your name to . Thanks in advance.

I hate to break it to you but Linux will never be a commercially viable operating consumer end operating system. It’s quite possibly the only operating system more frustrating than Windows, which is saying something. If Linux could be understood by the average user, it’d be viable. That’s pretty much what it boils down to. OS X can be as geeky as you need it to be, but it has a beautiful, easy-to-use interface which just works. I’m sorry but Linux just doesn’t deliver.

I think amyhre was ment to emphasise the word “just”
Windows – sometimes works
crApple – just works
linux – it works
“I hate to break it to you but Linux will never be a commercially viable operating consumer end operating system. It’s quite possibly the only operating system more frustrating than Windows……..”
Its evident you have only used or know of 3 OS’s. Linux has done a good job by being frustrating to users like yourself, redirecting the foolish users from the open source community to the commercial customer support which you waste good money on.
To me it is sometimes justified how companies such as MS and Apple seem so rich and greedy. They have to put up with headless users like yourself. You need to sit back and stuff something into that big mouth of yours.
What about Mac OS X 10.5 “Elgato”
(El Gato is Spanish for “The Cat)
I had always thought up Lion as the obvious successor to Tiger. Especially after that morphing of the Tiger into the Lion.
So…
OS X 10.5=Tigon
OS X 10.6=Liger
OS X 10.7=Lion
OS X 10.8=Sabretooth
After .8 I would’ve just started using Sabretooth Aleph, Beth. If OS X1 (11) isn’t ready yet at that time, then go with Gimel.
I felt that Tiger would be the end of this style of OS X, Lion would be a whole different direction going to the next-gen stuff. The Tigon and Liger steps in the middle would be on the way to Lion. Tigon being a small cat would be modest in its applications from the Lion systems. Liger being the largest cat in the world would be even more robust than Lion in features, Lion would be finalized and streamlined. Sabretooth would be building on the transitions that Tigon through Lion made, with all the things promised from the proposals before, getting to OS X1.
By the time OS X1 is out Mac will have a 30-60% market share (big variables I know), and we’ll be using G9s. I’m also a little nutty

I would much rather see “artistry” of a Longhorn steer mauling a tiger with his horns
