	Mac OS X - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mac OS X is built on Darwin, an open source Unix-like environment which is based on the BSD source tree, and the Mach microkernel.
		Mac OS X v10.2 was never officially referred to as Jaguar in the United Kingdom due to an agreement with the automobile manufacturer Jaguar, although boxes and CDs still bore the Jaguar-skin logo.
		Mac OS X v10.5 "Leopard" was announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 6, 2005, due to be released at the end of 2006 or early 2007, roughly around the same time Microsoft would release Windows Vista (formerly known by the code-name "Longhorn").

	Mac OS X history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The decade-old Mac OS had reached the limits of its single-user, co-operative multitasking architecture, and its once-innovative user interface was looking increasingly "dated" next to the rapidly-evolving Microsoft Windows.
		Mac OS applications could be ported to Carbon without the need for a re-write, while still making them full citizens of the new operating system.
		A public beta of Mac OS X was released in the year 2000, and March 24, 2001, saw the full and official release of Mac OS X version 10.0.

		Mac OS X was first announced as a public beta in September 2000.
		Mac OS X consists of two parts: Darwin, an open source Unix-like environment which is based on the BSD source tree and the Mach microkernel, and a proprietary GUI named Aqua, developed by Apple Computer.
		Mac OS X is compatible with older Mac OS applications by using Classic, an application which allows users to run Mac OS 9.x within Mac OS X, so that most older applications, such as the ubiquitous SimpleText, etc., run as they would under Mac OS 9.x.

	Mac OS X 10.1 - A Road Test - OSNews.com
		OS News' review of Mac OS X last week certainly stirred up controversy, partially because some die hard Mac fans perceived that it was improper for an outsider (someone who is not an everyday Mac user) to me making broad criticisms after only a superficial introduction to the New operating system.
		By the time Mac OS 8.6 had come out, it had reached a level of utility and stability that was really remarkable considering its humble heritage, but we all knew it was time for something new.
		I started OS News in 1997 primarily because of the excitement that I felt for Rhapsody, the code name for the OS X project.

		Mac OS X 10.0 also provided all the standard features of a modern operating system — protected memory so programs couldn't corrupt each others' data, preemptive multitasking so programs couldn't hog the processor or lock the entire computer up, device drivers that would be loaded or unloaded as needed, and so on.
		Mac OS 10.1 was released less than a year after 10.0, and incorporated a lot of performance improvements, especially on G3 Macs.
		Mac OS 10.2 — interestingly, it's often referred to by its code name of "Jaguar" more than it is by its version number — added a lot of new features.

	Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Apple Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Review
		Mac OS X 10.0 also included a few flops, which continue in the product to this day, including the reviled Dock, which is used to switch between running applications and, confusingly, non-running applications.
		In late September 2001, Apple shipped Mac OS X 10.1 ("Puma," though that name was rarely used), which was, at least, a free update for people who visited an Apple Store the day it shipped (otherwise, it was a $19.95 upgrade for previous users).
		Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" is, in fact, a minor upgrade to an already well-designed and rock-solid operating system.

	TidBITS: Mac OS X Report Card: October 2002
		Nonetheless, some of Apple's decisions were highly dubious from a user interface perspective (such as Mac OS X's confused approach to window layering), and no matter what, when it comes to user interface, being different purely for the sake of being different is a mistake because familiarity is an important aspect of any interface.
		Aggravating the situation are side-effects of the way Mac OS X was designed; for instance, the fact that it's a multiple user system results in confusing privileges errors when a file that can't be deleted by the current user ends up in the Trash.
		Mac OS X has eliminated those hooks into the operating system in favor of stability, and while the stability is appreciated, it's sad to lose the flexibility.

	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Mac OS X history
		Mac OS X is widely being labeled the new kid on the operating system block, but in fact the Mac OS X history can be traced back to the 1960s -- to UNIX, to BSD, and most significantly to NeXTSTEP, Mac OS X's direct ancestor.
		When Apple fired Steve Jobs in 1985, he immediately proceeded, with funding from Ross Perot and his own pockets, to create the NeXT insanely great thing.
		NeXTSTEP started to slowly evolve into Mac OS X. From the operating system view

	Impression, digital archiving for Mac OS X - Version History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Under OS X 10.3.x, 'hfspax' is still Impression's tool of choice, and when running under OS X 10.4 one can restore from both 'pax' and 'hfspax' archives automatically.
		This removal of support for OS X 10.2 comes as a direct result of a loss of test equipment available for me to boot and test against 10.2, as my development/test system only will boot to 10.3.x and later.
		The only facet of OS X 10.3 that Impression isn't currently compatible with is FileVault, and under a logged-in FileVault account Impression can't launch (due to some odd issues with the way FileVault constructs the path to the operator's home directory).

		As author David Pogue notes in his introduction, "Mac OS X" is a misnomer--it isn't really the Mac OS at all; there's scarcely a single line of code in common with the tangled, ancient code of the older Mac OS.
		For Mac users who have become accustomed to the older Mac OS, Appendix A, the "Where'd It Go?" dictionary, may be worth the price of the book all by itself.

	A History of Apple's Operating Systems
		Mac OS X is a unique operating system in that it represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have usually resisted each other in the past.
		Mac OS X is perhaps one of the best examples of how a capable system can result through the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and even individuals.
		Through this discussion, we will come across several technologies the confluence of which eventually led to Mac OS X. An important goal of the discussion is to better understand the reasons, and if possible, the rationale behind Mac OS X and its important components.

		It was expected that developers would port their software to the considerably more powerful OPENSTEP libraries once they learned of its power and flexibility, instead, perhaps unexpectedly, the vast majority of developers told Apple that this would never occur, and that they would rather leave the platform entirely.
		Larger version Many of OS X's users consider its Aqua GUI to be the most attractive and functional in existence, which has been imitated by others; there are Aqua lookalikes for other operating systems, (e.g., mosfet liquid).

		First came Copland, the operating system that was supposed to alter both the look and the underpinnings of the Mac OS and was to be release mid-1996.
		This developed into the Mac OS X project which was predominantly the same as the Rhapsody development with the addition of code and support to provide a successful environment for legacy Mac OS applications and easier porting.
		Mac OS X is the first complete overhaul of Apple's operating system since the first one was launched about 17 years ago in 1984.

		Just as this document provides a super-detailed history of Apple's operating systems, the book itself is super-detailed on the internals of modern day Mac OS X. It is not at all a book about using Mac OS X—it is about the system's design and implementation.
