Re: First adopter risk
At least M$ thought up a respectable excuse by avoiding confusion with the 9X previous series.
I have noticed that APP£E have always sucked up the magic X when and wherever they could.
I'll take odds on the next release being a variation of X to prolong the beloved number for as long as possible - XI or XE or somesuch (as long as it's not Xeon).
