Mac OS X Exactly five years ago, 24th March 2001, Apple officially launched its new operating system, Mac OS X, the highly anticipated (and highly needed) successor to Mac OS 9. From the official press release: "Apple today announced that beginning this Saturday, March 24, customers can buy Mac OS X in retail stores around the world. Mac OS X is the world's most advanced operating system, combining the power and openness of UNIX with the legendary ease of use and broad applications base of Macintosh."

I liked that GUI, along with the original MacOS X 1.0 Server, which was released before the client 10.0 version. Then again, for people such as you and I, we're technical and don't get wrapped up in whether the GUI looks sexy, but the fact is, Apple's focus is on the mainstream computer use who squirts with excitement when they see something pretty and shiney.
