Freshmeat Launches Mac OS X Section

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-like-my-OS-X dept.

Liedra writes "After announcing Mac OS X software surreptitiously within its main section for the past several months, freshmeat has now launched a section totally devoted to the platform. Read the article by scoop and visit the section directly." Since I switched my primary laptop to OS X, I'm glad to see scoop do this. (Note, Freshmeat & Slashdot are both owned by OSDN.)

    OS X is OS Ten...Please remeber [sic] that

    First of all, what's your point?

    Second of all, no it's not. The official name of the current point version of the OS is "Mac OS X version 10.2". It's a completely different beast than, and has a different name than, say, "Mac OS version 9.2".

    One is called "Mac OS X", the other is called "Mac OS". Yeah, maybe it's partly a marketing gimmick, but really, what you find under the hood (unlike with most marketing gimmicks) is completely different. Mac OS X is an operating system in many ways totally unlike Mac OS, and the difference in naming reflects that. It's not just "one louder".
