Why is your voice so perfect for retrospects?

I keep saying it, but you are the perfect person to do these kind of things. Your voice is very clear and you explain it in such a manor that it is very pleasant to listen to.
Again, a very well made video. You know what you're talking about and the edits are very very good!
I hope you will continue and can find interesting subjects to report or review about. But any subject you choose is very interesting.
Thank you very much for willing to do this and make such good video's and making them available on youtube.
Sorry if I don't know what else to say, but my knowledge about MAC in general is very poor.. But thanks to you I get well informed!

05:00 Don't forget to mention the "Classic Environment" feature from around this time! These versions of Mac OS X would ship with an additional Mac OS 9 installer disc. You could install OS 9 "inside" of Mac OS X, and run OS 9 applications in "Classic" mode, which was like an emulator(? not sure exactly how it worked), complete with the OS 9 desktop and Platinum theme. That was always interesting to me.

Porting from the classic 'Toolbox' to Carbon required more than a simple 'tune up'! It's just that OSX's native development environment was so completely foreign that porting an application required a total rewrite in a completely different language and environment.

Carbon continued to be used because of this and developers were only forced to use Cocoa/AppKit when Apple switched to 64bit. It's still around and still useful for a few things.

hey Michael! just letting u know there are a couple of flaws:

1) the Mac app store was first introduced in an update in snow leopard
2) you could still buy a physical copy of Lion on a flash drive

other than that you did a good job! keep up the good work!

I'd love to see a sequel to this video!

I realize this was only a 13 minute video, but this felt surprisingly brief and surface level. Each version barely got enough time to be properly discussed, and it sometimes seemed like there was more going on in the screenshots than was even mentioned by the voiceover. I wanted to hear more about the awkward transition/handling of System 9 apps on early versions of OS X. It kind of felt like this video was originally twice this long and it was forcibly cut down to this size. I may be a bit biased in regards to usually watching retrospectives and such that are 30+ minutes long, but I would've preferred a longer video that actually gave this stuff the time it needed to be explored and the impact shown.

I also realize this is a years-old video, so commenting on it now may be kind of worthless. But yeah.

Thank you for the effort though! Of course, each person has their own opinion. I'm enjoying your more recent stuff! :)

I am in LOVE with these documentary style videos!!

I love the mac's features today, but I was so sad when Yosemite launched. I quickly missed the style from previous OS's. Today, I look at windows 10, and Big Sur, and miss the fine details put into the design of the OS's. Now it's flat, and lifeless imo. Thanks for the vid m8, I enjoyed it!

Not that I like or use macOS but this was still interesting to watch and just a good video.

I saw glasses ad before this, On a more on topic note This is a REALLY good video and you did a good job with the audio and footage and research, maybe you could give another operating system the same treatment( I know you did video on development builds of versions of Windows like XP and Vista but it would be cool to see this for a different OS). That's all I have to say for now, bye.

The dark mode is awesome!
I wanted something like this for my Windows laptop a long time but decided against it when I had to change the registry entries for color shades myself and didn't want to go through the hassle and possible malfunctions as I only followed descriptions of other but couldn't have fixed anything myself if something broke.

One minor correction: Lion was sold on physical media, a $69 USB drive; Mountain Lion was the first version to be sold exclusively in the App Store. You can still find some NOS Lion USB drives on eBay.
