New Flash: Apple already working on Mac OS X 10.7
The blogosphere is buzzing with the news that Apple is already hard at work on Mac OS X 10.7, the logical successor to the recently released Snow Leopard. The "news" should really come as a surprise to no one, though, as Apple was likely already working on 10.7 even before 10.6 entered the developer beta stage.
MacRumors discovered that a bug had been filed for the open source component
launchd, which manages running processes on Mac OS X. The bug report referenced build number 11A47 of Mac OS X. As MacRumors explains, the numbering scheme for builds of Mac OS X follows a predictable pattern—for example, Mac OS X 10.6 is build 10A432, while 10.6.2 is build 10B504. The first number refers to major versions, so build 11Axx would refer to the next major version: 10.7.
