Mac OS X "White Lion" build 12a51 screenshots were posted to youtube earlier this year. Has there been any confirmation of the validity of that product/code name as used in previous/existing pre-release versions of the Mac OS X operating system?

Here is a video containing the stills: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB3Z2fkbQ-U

Note for moderator: Please disregard my previous post on the topic, it contained a typo.

That's 99.9% fake, I mean you can see the video seems paused and edited.

This is from one of his videos.

Fake, nothing to see here.

When he created the video, did he not think of how completely redundant that is and why it'd never be added?

it looks completely fake, plus those features make no sense whatsoever

I dont see the need for this?
Unless they want to roll like Microsoft with Windows 8.
I mean why wouldnt they use the top bar instead?
I think this is clearly fake.(well, haha unless Apple decides to name this as inovation )

I'm not sure i go by the following: Did Microsoft create win8 build before win7 even RTM'd no so why would apple unless they were developing like Mozilla which is a whole other story

1000% fake

I mean there has been no other info about MAC OSX 10.8 so until something leaks or is announced i won't believe it

There was a story today over at MacRumors that they have been detecting OSX 10.8 clients browsing the site from Apple IPs.

What exacly is OS X White Lion?

Oh no, please no. Italy is plentiful of spectacles, why add another one with fake 10.8 videos?

It ended up being mountian lion anyways haha

the next OS will be called Mountain Lion a video of it can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoR08T26IPU

Youre a tad late, considering the date of your post Mountain Lion was in either Dev 2 or still Dev 3.

I can give you an official listing of Mac OS X versions.

"Rhapsody"
Mac OS X Server 10, "Hera"
"Darwin"
Public Beta, "Kodiak"
Mac OS X 10, "Cheetah"
Mac OS X 10.1, "Puma"
Mac OS X 10.2, "Jaguar"
Mac OS X 10.3, "Panther"
Mac OS X 10.4, "Tiger"
Mac OS X 10.5, "Leopard"
Mac OS X 10.6, "Leopard"
--------------------------
END OF POWERPC SUPPORT
_______________________
Mac OS X 10.6.2, "Snow Leopard" *
Mac OS X 10.7, "Lion"
OS X 10.8, "Mountain Lion" **
OS X 10.9, "Steve"

*I put 10.6.2, because 10.6 and 10.6.1 were codenamed "Leopard" still
**They ditched the Mac name at this point.

No, there was no Snow Leopard for PowerPC and it wasn't codenamed Leopard. Read this: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=768524

Also, 10.9 Steve, seriously?

from my opinion, they should name it after the two founders

If you are to post info like this then don't call it "official listing" as it's seriously flawed... don't make up stuff on the fly and then call it "official"... also, do your research.

And this thread was pointlessly bumped anyway.

Locked.
