Macintosh Operating Systems[edit | edit source]
The Macintosh line of computers has seen a number of different operating systems throughout its history. The original Mac OS was introduced in 1984 and was the primary operating system for Macintosh computers until it was replaced by Mac OS X in 2001.
Mac OS[edit | edit source]
The original Mac OS, also known as System Software, was a graphical user interface-based operating system. It was notable for its ease of use and the introduction of many features that have since become standard in operating systems, such as the desktop metaphor and drag-and-drop functionality.
Mac OS X / macOS[edit | edit source]
Mac OS X, later rebranded as macOS, is a Unix-based operating system that was first released in 2001. It introduced a number of new features, including a more modern and attractive graphical user interface, improved performance and stability, and increased compatibility with other operating systems.
