This article is about Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, but to fully appreciate it you need to have transitioned through earlier versions. The next few years would see Apple transform it into a Mac operating system running on PowerPC hardware, and Apple released the Public Beta of Mac OS X in 2000.
Mac OS 9 was very space efficient but already looked dated when released in 1999.Īpple had been working on what would become Mac OS X since 1996, when it purchased NeXT. In my opinion, Windows 2000 was one of the best versions of Windows ever released: graphically pleasing (for its time) and built on NT rather than 9x, making it rock solid and very fast. Prior to OS X, Apple had a rock solid operating system that was fast and stable, but by the time Mac OS 9 was released in 1999, it was looking very dull and dated, especially compared to what Microsoft was offering in the shape of Windows NT 4 (released July 1996), Windows 98 (released June 1998), and Windows 2000 (released February 2000).
