In 1984 I could test the first Mac in a computer shop in Caracas. I found the concept excellent and easy to learn. Ten minutes after, I could draw with Mac Paint. In 2001, I had to work hard to find again my marks with macOS X. 😅

Mac OS 10.1 looks so cool and was such a big upgrade visually.

[@HaasSpitta]

That was the most dramatic change imo

[@danielbueno7926]

I still remember that update. Was so beautiful

[@uliwitness]

Amazing video! Thank you for posting it, it was a blast to see all these differences again. Particularly zipping through the color variations in the Appearance control panel was a fun little detail. Pity that it skips System 7.0, though. The step from (mostly) B/W System 6 to color, but before it is called MacOS, feels like an important step on the way. Also, System 7 Pro had a slight UI refresh in the design of apps shipped with the OS. And too bad MacOS X 10.0 seems to have been distorted (it looks like a 4:3 recording stretched into 16:9 aspect ratio).

[@renascence239]

Shout out to Susan Kare, the one responsible for early Macintosh graphic design

[@mallbeck7622]

Thanks for revisiting Mac evolution! I have used all of them and it was nice to see them again and appreciate how much chips and technology have progressed, specially memory and storage I guess it takes you a lot of time to sample all those OS. Good work!

Amiga had full color OS since 1985, MacOS was still monochrome in 1990!!!!!

[@dannydunne]

10.6 Snow Leopard was peak OS X imo. Beautifully designed and super stable.

[@JerryN7970]

Wow! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I was in art school in the mid-90’s learning graphic design and we had old Mac classics running System 6. But we did have two color Macs running System 7. But I totally geeked out when System 8 debuted with that new look! I almost wish Apple could add in settings that would, on the surface, emulate some of the look of those older versions.

[@insanelydigitalvids]

Wonderful video. Shows that the unique Macintosh experience has been there since day one and has continued for nearly 40 years. What visionaries Steve Jobs and the Mac team were!

[@CaptureCat88]

Yep and those people have left the company. Sucks now.

[@jonathanvanier]

Absolutely. But to be more complete IMHO, it really should start with the Lisa OS, which was the precursor to the Mac in just about every way (Steve had run the Lisa project before getting kicked out and taking over the Macintosh project and transforming it into a baby Lisa). Also the very long System 7 evolution should probably be included (a whole lot changed between 7.0 and 7.5.5).

[@CaptureCat88]

@@jonathanvanier just curious about your age given your knowledge of OS. Also, mind saying what you personally were using System 7 for back then?

[@jonathanvanier]

@@CaptureCat88 I'm actually not that old! Haha. I've actually started using MacOS in the late MacOS 9 era. I guess I'm just a big fan of computing history and the history of operating systems in particular. I've used all of these OSs in a mix of emulators and vintage hardware, and always enjoy reading more about them.

[@HS-zs6vb]

I even have a set of developer CDs from the beginning until about System 7 or so laying here. Good old time. Copy and paste .... even the system was just copied and pasted to another Mac, if needed. Loved it.

I used to work with a Mac 128 (it was released before Mac 512 & Mac Plus). We needed an extra long custom screwdriver to remove the top which had the signatures of the designers inside...

[@leahevehumphries]

I've only started using Macs since 2018. I grew up way too poor to ever have a Mac when I was young. In fact for the first 4 years when I was born (2000-2004) we didn't even have a computer in the house. I always dreamed of having one when I was growing up. I finally got a 2012 MacBook Pro in 2018 when I was about to start uni, and I adored it. I still use it and still love it today - for a 10 year old laptop it is amazing! In February 2021 I was lucky enough to get the M1 2020 MacBook Pro, and it is beautiful. 😍

I hadn’t used a Mac since middle school, and when I entered high school in 2004, it was all Windows machines. Fast forward to late last year, November 2023, and I get an M2 MBA with Sonoma. Crazy how features I came to rely on has been around since Snow Leopard at earliest. And macOS STILL feels great to get around just like it did before.

[@j800r_aswell]

Got my first Mac in late 2010. I'd never had such a smooth OEM experience before that. I still miss the refined Aqua UI and 3D dock. It may sound silly but one of the things I miss the most is that corny welcome video upon first booting your Mac that would smoothly transition to setup. I'm glad they at least brought back the boot chime. Far too iconic to not do so.

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

I miss skeuomorphism. Something that I forgot about why how the skeuomorphic UI design elements are supposed to resemble the physical materials the Macintosh computers were made out of. This is most evident in Mac OS X which resembled that generation’s iMacs and PowerMacs. An earlier OS 9 Quicktime introduced the machined metal look later adopted by all Mac OS before they started making laptops and keyboards like that. And later on we had that glass Aero look with the rounded corners.

well, starting from mac os x idk i forgot, they named the OS after places in california. so its plausible and likely to get ur concept to be “used”. you can pile up certain operating system wishlist in mac concepts, use landmarks in california as your title, and get unprecedented credit when it becomes real.

The most noticeable thing here is that every version is an evolutionary change from the one before, even the ones that felt like a drastic redesign at the time. There's not a Windows 8 anywhere among them.

Every windows OS since 8 has been really ugly. XP, Vista, and 7 are tops Windows. 8, 10, and 11 are too square, angular, and harsh. It looks more dated than even XP and definitely Vista/7. 10 and 11 almost have a callback to the windows 90’s series. I don’t like it. Plus I really hate that big search bar beside start on 10.
