Mac OS X: A Brief History
Posted in: Apple, os x, Today's Chili
Last month marked 10 years since the release of the first public beta of Apple’s Mac OS X. The trial version of the forthcoming operating system was released on September 13, 2000, carrying a box price of $29.99.
In March of 2010, the first final version of the OS, Cheetah, will turn 10 years old. It’s hard not to get a little nostalgic thinking about how far Apple’s plucky little operating system has come — particularly in light of yesterday’s OS X 10.7 announcement preview. It looks like we’ll be seeing a lot of Lion very shortly.
In honor of next week’s announcement, we thought it would be fun to take quick trip down memory lane and hit on some of the milestones of OS X’s first 10 years.
