Andreas (82MHz)I was a bit bored today and so I set up 4 qemu VMs with OS X 10.0 through 10.3.
It's really interesting to see how the OS has changed over time...
mhd@82mhz I was there for parts of that, and I definitely remember every release to feel like some visual progress was made. Granted, that was partly because of the CRT-influenced pinstriping being removed first, and after that the always rather dubious "brushed metal" for Safari and the Finder being phased out. They should've stopped then and there ;)
IIRC 10.3 where they introduced the brushed metal Finder, so we're still a good way away from perfection. It was more than made up by Exposé, though. Best feature ever, for a long, long while.

Funny enough I never used any of these systems back in the day, I was never a Mac user. But I still feel weirdly nostalgic for them, there is just a beauty and simplicity about them that's missing today.
