the world in 1984 mercifully didn't look quite like what George Orwell envisioned
in his famous dystopian novel however something did happen that year the very
first Apple Macintosh was released giving average people the chance to own
their very own personal computer with a graphical user interface or guey for the
low price of just
$2,495 and while that may seem steep especially for the dollar value back
then it was a breakthrough at the time since Apple's previous goey based
computer the Lisa sold for 10 grand so
it was no big surprise that it was the Mac instead that popularized the concept
of using a mouse to click on what you want instead of having to type
everything into a Dos style command line but as Innovative as a mainstream gooey
for home users was the original macOS wasn't without its shortcomings although
it introduced the now familiar file folder the first macOS file system
didn't truly support nested directories Doss actually did this prior to the
release of the first Mac and while the original Mac was also incapable of
multitasking for the most part it's more intuitive interface compared to command
line operating systems paved the way for goys to become standard in home PCS in
fact there was some pretty messy litigation that went on after Microsoft
licensed elements of macOS users interface for early versions of Windows
as Apple claimed that Microsoft borrowed beyond the license terms but although
Apple pioneered the home PC goe it didn't really change a whole lot aside
from incremental performance improvements until the release of System
7 in 1991 which made True Color
rendering a standard feature for the first time removed the old 8 megabyte
RAM limit thanks to 32-bit support added the true type fonts which would make it
much easier to tell what a print out would look like added virtual memory
true multitasking and the all important drag and drop functionality we've all
come to take for granted today System 7 was also the first macOS to support
those power pie PC processors that remained one of the core differentiators
between Mac and IBM PC compatibles or wiel machines until 2006 and although
the move to power PC meant an increase in performance compared to older Macs
application support for the Mac platform still lagged behind winel computers this
meant that Apple was facing a decline in profit for several years but they
started to reverse their fortunes by Rolling Out macOS 8 in 1997 which
featured an actual color interface like the ones we're accustomed to seeing
today a customizable background and Native ability to search the web
speaking of which this was the first macOS to include a default browser but no
not Safari Internet Explorer as per an
agreement with Microsoft macOS 9 released a couple years later featured
things like 128bit encryption support
and better voice recognition but a massive change came in 2001 when the now
ubiquitous OSX made its debut osx's
underlying code was completely different from all other MACC OS versions in order
to be more attractive to third party software developers of course there were
plenty different for the average user as well including much sleeker interface
called aqua that sort of foreshadowed the what Microsoft would later do with
XP later that year more stable multitasking systemwide spellchecking
and of course revisions all named after big scary cats for whatever reason
instead of releasing all new operating systems every few years years Apple has
focused on incremental improvements to OSX since 2001 with features like DVD
playback multi-user switching and 64-bit
support being added over time OSX tiger
released in 2005 was a particularly important revision as tiger was the
first version of macOS to support the new 64-bit Intel chips that started
making their way into Apple PCS the very next year macOS's mve toward support
for x86-64 has made it a more popular
program for software Developers meaning OSX has carved out a nice niche for
itself in several markets particularly designers and content creators
especially the ones that are interested in spending $3,000 on a workstation that
looks like a futuristic waste basket speaking of content creators linda.com
