exactly, it's 2020, and windows 10 is still so hard to use with a taskbar full with icons. I click on wrong icons on windows 10 taskbar all the time because they are so small!
It's really interesting but also funny, looking at the 15 years old concept using OS 10.10 and see all these great features just with a more modern look and without all these visible pixels and notice how great the concept was/is.
Seeing OSX for the first time and using it on my Ruby iMac was one of those memorable moments in the tech industry. Software has never blown me away quite the same like OSX did when I first touched it in 2001. The only thing that's ever come close was using the iPhone for the first time in 2007, but that still didn't blow me away as much as OSX first did. Truly ahead of it's time.
@Bas BakkerApple has got a UNIX certification for its system later. But really, nowadays it doesn't matter: Unix was a standard at times when that standard was needed. Nowadays no one will ask whether or not your system is Unix because all the important software needs more than just the old Unix underpinnings. This is true also in Linux world. Not even LAMP stack ran on top of Unix twenty years ago, Node, Python or such stacks even less so. They just need some unix-like system and after that they work fine.
Awesome videos. Thanks a lot! I watched all three of them. I never realized the Dock looked like that. I've been a Mac user since 10.3 so I had no idea. It's obviously seen many improvements since then. Keep the Apple videos coming!
The difference between the Dock demo and final shipping version is VERY cool. No separation between docs & apps, no "cookie sheet" backdrop! The most interesting thing to me is that they hadn't quite worked out the way the Desktop worked, as files Steve moved to the Dock were physically placed instead of aliased there.
It's 18 years yet, still it's tough to build those effects like genie effect for example. N I admire Steve coz he thinks about every detail & every problem, solves it, n give us. Our generation is truly lucky to have this visionary.
Still going strong almost 20 years later. Microsoft has in the mean time re-invented their UI ten times or so, with a very inconsistent Windows 10 as a result, while OSX has just been maturing and is still leaps ahead of any other OS out there.
@@AtomicBoo macOS 11 is just a marketing thing, it's not really any different than macOS 10's last version. It's nowhere near the difference between OS 9 and OS X for sure.
The OS X Dock back then was really just a NeXTSTEP Dock on steroids. In fact, you can tell how much of NeXTSTEP was still a part of the early OS X builds in this demo. Aside from Aqua, and putting stuff on the desktop (which you couldn't do in the beta) this is pretty much NeXTSTEP all around. The BSD kernel, Display PDF, the Dock, etc.
Aqua changed my life. Honestly the appeal of certain UI’s sold me on certain products for sure. Has a huge effect on people whether they know it or not.
Ummm, no! Microsoft were working on project Neptune and Odyssey at the time Apple were working on OSX. Nether were ahead or behind. Outside of mac, no one uses the dock. Pretty much everything uses an MS taskbar of some kind. Ugly, but actually works.
I was an Apple fanboy for many years, I even had OS X when it first came out. The best thing about OS X is was that it was Unix based - which is rock solid. My Uncle eventually introduced me to Ubuntu Linux, which is also rock solid, and I've been using it ever since.
I personally were always a windows user, but recently switched to Fedora Linux and MacOS. Both impressed me with how different yet still extremely cool they are compared to Windows and each other
These types of people are a head of our time, they create the world beyond our imagination. People like this create the worlds civilzation into differnet shapes and forms and before you know it, we are doing things that are considered unimaginable a few decades ago. People will look back on him and see Steave Jobbs as a god of computer technology.
I'm 21 years old, and the first Mac I used, was an old little iMac (or the ancestor) with Mac OS 8 and loved it. I can't believe I lived then and saw how the Mac developed through years.
@JoelB3783 in the left corner, it is not a grey apple. The Mac OS X Beta did not have an Apple menu. It is a Finder icon to the left of the File menu. Customer complaints about the lack of an apple menu in the beta made Apple change their position and re-introduce the Apple menu for the 10.0 release.
@ty2 i so do agree with you, that Jobs is truly a genius, and I'm not an Apple fanboy. Apple haters now need to aware that Jobs' ideas have always been changing the world.
This brings back a lot of memories. I remember drooling over some of these interface elements. I also remember hating half of the eye candy after using them. OSX has come a Looooong way since then.
"This is our foundation for the next decade of Macintosh operating systems" he said in 2000. 20 years later it's finally dropped the "X" and is the foundation for iOS and watchOS. I wonder if there was some internal project he was referring to when he said that.
The year 2000, yeah we are so fortunate and blessed to have so many people work so hard to give us what we have now in such a short time. Isn’t that great 👍🏻
I'm a mac user and it's the best thing I ever did to switch last year, but I have to say that this video shows that really OS X really hasn't changed all that much, I mean they add new features and change the look a little but it's all pretty much the same now as it was back then
It's interesting to remember that this was six years ago when Windows 98 and 2000 ruled the day. Microsoft must have thrown together that hideous Luna theme in the in-development Windows XP after they saw what Apple was going to release. Cheers to a great operating system!
Man, I don't remember technology being this antiquated in the year 2000. I mean, it doesn't feel like that long ago, and yet this video proves that it was. I remember the movies and stuff out at that time like yesterday, and I just remember the late 1990s and early 2000s being a lot more modern than this. I mean, good crap...I'm not even 30 yet and I feel old.
I didn't get the first iteration because it didn't have support for the DVD-player, how dumb was that. Over time however, it has evolved into one of the finest environments a user could hope to work in. I have never enjoye working with a Mac as I do now, and I've had everything between 7.5.3 and 10.4.8 [except 10.0 of course ;)] OS X is truly great. Can't wait for Leopard to come out.
@bigmacdaddy31 They put it back because a lot of people weren't happy about it being in the center, as in classic OS it was always on the left :) No idea why it was ever in the center though, that's just weird
no. The dock came from an OS called OPENSTEP, made by a company called NeXT. Apple bought NEXT STEP in 1997 and used OPENSTEP as the basis for OS X. the dock has actually been around since about 1992.
They disabled it in later version, but I remember on my first Mac MIni G4 1.25 with 10.3 it worked. I think as video quality improved, the system couldn't keep up, and it was impractical, but it was really cool.
@regenjo You're mostly right, but the 150 million dollar MS investment was not to "save Apple from going bankrupt." Apple had over a billion dollars in cash. It was spun at the time that Microsoft had bought stock in Apple so they had a vested interest in Apple's future. In reality it was a patent dispute settlement (Video for Windows had been found to contain Quicktime code) which may have been much larger than was made public.
There is something like th Single Window Mode in Leopard (and Tiger and Panther). It's not quite the same and it isn't available in all applications (Safari is one that doesn't have it). The Finder does have it, though. Usually, when you double-click a folder in Finder, it will open in the same windows (or use CMD). If you press the button in the top right hand corner, it'll change this default behaviour: folders will open new windows. Many apps have this button to the same effect...
The dock is so ahead of its times, windows was 6years behind that that point. Windows struggled at in XP to have an animation of it expanding and minimising and Apple had already created the genie effect(even thought its very gimmicky) it just shows the power of the OS
Single user mode is still somewhat there, just click on the name of the app in the menu bar and go to "hide others". What is funny is that Microsoft knew about these features and could of added them to XP but they didn't. If XP had some of these features i would of probably never switch, but im glad i did!
For some unknown reason, video does not play in the the dock in Leopard even though it did in Tiger. I'm not sure if it is a glitch or they thought no one cared about it.
quickview yeah but i'm not or is steve talking about that. it displays a still image when the quicktime player is minimized, therefore we've went backwards.
No, but there is something called expose which will show you all of your open windows at the same time and let you choose which one is active. Most new macs have a dedicated key for it (I think its f4 or something).
