Cand tableta iPad a fost lansata Apple a decis sa renunte la denumirea iPhone OS in favoarea iOS pentru sistemul de operare al noii tablete. In Mountain Lion Apple renunta la denumirea Mac OS X in favoarea celei OS X, dupa cum puteti vedea in imaginea de mai sus. Motivul renuntarii la cuvantul Mac din denumire ar putea avea legatura cu faptul ca sistemul de operare pentru Mac-uri contine atat de multe elemente imprumutate de catre Apple din iOS.
Apple’s making a big deal out of Mountain Lion today, but there’s an equally big change quietly afoot: the “Mac” in “Mac OS X” is no more. Instead, Apple’s desktop operating system is now simply called OS X. We confirmed the official name change with Apple, who told us that the preferred full name is “OS X Mountain Lion,” and a quick look around the company’s new Mountain Lion pages reveals that the tweak is already well in effect.
