| | Mac OS history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The original Mac OS was heavily based on the Lisa OS, previously released by Apple for the Lisa computer in 1983, and also used concepts licensed from the Xerox PARC Xerox Alto which Steve Jobs and several other Macintosh team members had been previewed in December, 1979. | | | The first version of the Mac OS, then known as the System Software, or more simply the System, was System version 1.0. | | | For the majority of the 1980s, the Mac OS lacked a serious amount of software compatible with it. |

| | 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. | | | The change in the familiar interface was a mixed blessing for me. I have always considered the Mac OS interface to be the best of the available OSes, but still lacking in both utility for power users and in intuitiveness for newcomers. | | | Though Mac OS X's interface has improved since the first version (remember the decorative Apple logo in the top center?) in some ways it's still inferior to the old Mac's. |

| | The original Mac OS was simple and easy to use, a pleasant surprise to computer users who tried it for the first time. | | | HFS was finally replaced in Mac OS 8.1 with HFS+, which better calculates file block sizes according to maximum hard disk capacity. | | | As you can see, besides little fixes not much was done to the Mac OS for about a year and a half before System Software 5.0 was released. |

| | Mac OS - WikiMac |
| | Troubleshooting Mac OS extensions can be a time-consuming process of trial and error. | | | Until the advent of the G3 era systems (the so-called "new world" machines), large parts of the system were held in physical ROM on the motherboard, as well as other system components on disk that supplemented, overrode or patched the ROM routines. | | | The purpose of this was to avoid using up too much of the limited storage of floppy disks on system support, given that the early Macs had no hard disk. |

| | MacDevCenter.com: Steve Jobs and the History of Cocoa, Part One |
| | This greatly simplifies the task of building applications for Mac OS X. The downside is that it makes the Cocoa environment very different from the environments to which most programmers are accustomed. | | | The real pleasure that is Mac OS X comes from the seamless integration of these technologies in a single desktop. | | | Indeed, some of the most innovative goodies in OS X are actually mature, stable technologies that have been painstakingly developed over the past 15 years by Apple, NeXT Computer (which Apple acquired in December 1996), and the open source community as a whole. |

| | The Mac OS was still fundamentally the same operating system that was released in 1984 — which meant it lacked a lot of technologies that were needed to get the most out of new computers. | | | The Mac OS was not the first graphical user interface, but it was the first successful one. | | | Mac OS 9.0.4 unified everything again, and is the only version of the classic Mac OS compatible with the Classic environment in Mac OS X Public Beta. |

| | Release Mac OS 8.1 and 8.5.1 Petition |
| | And while Mac OS 7.5.3 was the last incarnation to support "32-bit dirty" machines (II, IIx, IIcx, and SE/30), MacOS 7.6.1 (which is little more than an update to 7.5.3, both freely available from Apple) was the last incarnation to support 68030 and earlier processors. | | | This is why we, the undersigned, are requesting that Apple Computer make available a complete installer package for Mac OS 8.1, and a complete installer package for Mac OS 8.5.1. | | | Version 8.1 was a much more stable release than 8.0 and introduced such features as the now-ubiquitous HFS+ disk format, but more importantly it was the last version of Mac OS to support 68040 and 68LC040-based computers. |
