History of Mac OS X

Mac OS X is the modern operating system that powers every Macintosh computer, from the Mac mini to the iMac Pro. It was introduced by Steve Jobs in 2000 and continues to serve as Apple's desktop operating system.

The Agua interface of OS X 10.1 - 10.4 was absolutely beautiful.

10:23 "MacOS X was the first version of MacOS X not to be named for a cat." This is ironic because my cat's name is Maverik...

Snow Leopard was one of the sexiest OS releases of all time. The aesthetics and functionality were truly impressive.

[PearComputingDevices]

I still love love Snow Leopard. Best Mac OS X ever.

[DarkPlaysThings]

It's amazing how relatively little OSX has changed visually throughout the years, at least in terms of layout and overall look, especially compared to windows.

Another reason for the long period of time between Tiger and Leopard: With the transition to Intel going on, Tiger for Intel practically was its own major OS release.

Omg the leopard version gives me so much nostalgia. I haven't seen those leaves in like 10 years.

[RobertSimmonsAirship]

To mention Leopard without highlighting Quicklook is a huge oversight. One of the most useful features ever in an OS release.

Damn I miss the Aqua look.... pretty bad. Wish they gave us a choice one day, just for fun.

[JerryN]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Funny though… the other day I was thinking it would be fun to have something that could change the look of the user interface to look on the surface like older versions of MacOS. Useless I know but just something fun. As much as I love the look and power of the current operating system, there’s something nostalgic about the old pre-OSX operating systems from the 1990’s.

THe best VISUAL reference for all APPLE products on YOUTUBE ..simplicity and softeness at the same time ! ...I ve discovered your channel just today and i'm marvelled! Keep the work ! I ve clicked "like" on all your videos... success ! ps : Any IPOD NANO videos on schedule ?

currently using mavericks 😄 (downgraded from high sierra)

[TheRealFobican]

Theme wise I think Tiger is possibly the best looking Mac iteration of the ones shown in the video.

When I bought my PowerMac G4 DA, it came with the beta, with a coupon for the full version of OS X for free! I left work early when my Apple retailer received the full version! I almost didn't get a copy as they went FAST!

The underlying OS (Unix) is called the Kernel not core. The GUI (OSX) is called the shell. There's some computer explained.

It’s really good to look back and get surprised that old OS X updates were paid! Can’t imagine having to pay for an update in 2020!

[DJSelphi]

Snow Leopard was my favorite for a long time, updated a partitioned drive to Mavericks to test new software and settled onto El Capitan eventually. Only decided to go into High Sierra after buying a backup laptop. Until then, I don't have a good reason to get Mojave yet.

[TheLordOfNothing]

Make another one for Mojave and Catalina, and whatever one that’s going to be released this year.

[JaredtheRabbit]

The next version of macOS should allow us to use the aqua interface.
