NeXTSTEP To Mac OS X

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the after-all-these-years dept.

*no comment* writes "the folks over at OSviews have a nicely done article that explains the evolution of NeXTSTEP into Mac OS X. 'With the beginning of 1996, Apple realized that with the next generation PC's running Windows NT to be released within the decade, they would need a new, modern operating system to run on their machines. ... Amongst Apple's other options were to license Solaris from Sun, NT from Microsoft, or to purchase a small net services company called NeXT. Apple chose the latter.'" OSNews had another nice Mac-oriented look at NeXTSTEP last year; the Wikipedia entry is also worth looking through.

    I find OSNews a consistently silly company and you people sure must be hard up if you publish their junk.

    They can't proofread, can't run a spell checker, tell people who object to their shitty journalism to fuck off - and yes it's shitty journalism.

    Net services company? Eh?

    I would greatly appreciate if /. in the future ignored their tripe.
