In the code 11A47, 11 indicates a major revision of Mac OS X, as all builds from Snow Leopard were tagged 10AXXX. On a technical point of view, this is of course not surprising, indeed, Apple never really stop working on its OS and their evolution. Some teams were already working on 10.6.1 whereas 10.6 was not even out. Of course, we would be curious to know what would be the name chosen for this new version, the new associated features and corresponding improvements. This is particularly true for the latest point, as we are still looking at the true benefit brought by Snow Leopard, beside paving the way for the future OS.

Apple will have to work hard to bring Mac OS X 10.7 way ahead of Windows 7, as Microsoft seems to have successfully brought a good replacing OS for making "Vista nightmare" history.
