And even for us women, it's more along the lines of Bambi than I feel comfortable with. I like Suse the lizard and Firefox the fox, and even the Tiger those have class and power. What on earth does a fawn do besides frolick in the meadow? All a matter of opinion, I guess.

And I view it as versatile (changeable), etc because of the chameleon. But I can't picture anything symbolized by the feisty fawn.

All the symbolism is in the product name - and yes, there's plenty. The versions have whimsical animal names. Even OS X has no particular Tiger-ishness in 10.4; it's not as if tigers are particularly renowned for having system-wide instant search facilities. By that same measure, I'm also not aware of any inbuilt backup facilities sported by panthera pardus. I don't think they have to-do lists in their email clients, either.
