Mac Systems history
Mac Systems company history timeline
With the introduction of Windows 3.0 in 1990, this “window of opportunity” finally shut.
The 1995 consumer release Windows 95 fully integrated Windows and DOS and offered built-in Internet support, including the World Wide Web browser Internet Explorer.
Apple announced the acquisition of NeXT on December 20, 1996, noting it wanted NeXT’s object-oriented software development technology and its operating system know-how.
In 1996 Apple lost $740 million dollars in one financial quarter.
When Steve Jobs returned to his former company in hard times by the beginning of 1997, first as a counselor and then as a principal, the competition for the industry standard between Apple Computers and Microsoft had long been settled.
In 1998 an Apple engineering t-shirt declared that Mac OS 8.5 ‘sucks less’ than Mac OS 8!
Mac OS 9 released on October 23, 1999 was a steady evolution of the Mac OS.
The history of macOS started with a bear, not a cat: in September of 2000, Apple presented Kodiak.
Whichever direction macOS goes in the future, it’s not likely to change from the UNIX underpinnings that were first introduced in 2001.
By January of 2002, Apple officially stated that Mac OS X would be used on all Macintosh products sold by the company.
Released in April of 2005, Tiger added more than 200 new features.
Apple was beginning to pull away support from older machines, and Tiger ran on both PowerPC and the Intel-based Macs released in January 2006.
The highly successful XP standard was succeeded in late 2006 by Windows Vista, which experienced a troubled rollout and met with considerable marketplace resistance, quickly acquiring a reputation for being a large, slow, and resource-consuming system.
After Tiger was released, Mac fans waited for over two years for 10.5 Leopard to appear in October of 2007.
Besides that, Mac OS 10.4 inaugurated new hardware: it was installed both on the first Macs with Intel processors and on the first Apple TV devices (that were yet to come out later, in 2007).
Responding to Vista’s disappointing adoption rate, Microsoft in 2009 released Windows 7, an OS whose interface was similar to that of Vista but was met with enthusiasm for its noticeable speed improvement and its modest system requirements.
In 2011, Apple release 10.7 Lion, adding some features to the Mac operating system that had been pioneered in iOS. For example, Launchpad added an easy-to-navigate list of apps, while more multi-touch gestures were included for use on trackpads.

With Mountain Lion’s release in 2012, Apple began the annual operating system releases that are now common.
Windows 8 in 2012 offered a start screen with applications appearing as tiles on a grid and the ability to synchronize settings so users could log on to another Windows 8 machine and use their preferred settings.
Continuing the march toward our present-day macOS 11, 10.10 Yosemite was released in October of 2014.
Released in September of 2015, El Capitan primarily added refinements to the user experience and performance improvements.
In 2016 Apple renamed the system MacOS to match the names iOS and watchOS.
Released in 2017, High Sierra’s main new feature was the introduction of the first new Mac file system in a long time – Apple File System (APFS). APFS is optimized for the solid-state storage found in most new Macs.
My Mac Mini 2018 developed a Kernel panic report on every startup after a security update from Apple.
