Scary as this may sound, Mac site Hardmac (hardmac.com) has posted quick article that brings to light a very sad, yet very exciting idea that is bobbing around with the heads of the Apple. According to the article, Apple appears to be interested in a complete ‘iOS’ marketing range that comes in different ‘flavours’ (Unix grass roots anyone?). Such a move could create flavours of iOS Desktop, iOS Server and iOS Mobile. While the letter ‘i’ has been long associated (ok, twelve years maybe) with Apple, such a move could prove fatal towards die-hard Mac fans (from which Mac comes from).
What are your thoughts on the matter? Would you like to see Apple rename Mac OS X to iOS Desktop?
If it’s a name change, yes. If it’s made to be like ios, closed and only supported by the locked down beast that is the App store then no. The name Mac is a little, i dont know, dirty to say for me because I know it’s shortened from Macintosh, but officially known as mac.
It’s like calling the iPod touch an iTouch, but mac is official.
All im saying is ….yes to name change.
no to actual change
