Looking Back At OS X's Origins

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-fail-at-history dept.

DJRumpy writes "Macworld Weekly has an interesting look at the history of OS X from its early origins in 1985 under NeXT and the Mach Kernel to Rhapsody, to its current iteration as OS X. An interesting, quick read if anyone is curious about the timeline from Apple's shaky '90s to their current position in the market. There's also an interesting link at the bottom talking about the difference between the original beta and the release product that we see today."

    The REAL history of OS X...

    And on the sixth day, Steve Jobs said, "Let there be OS X" and OS X was created, and it was good.

    That's how it goes, right?
