  • Blueprint for the Decade
    Blueprint for the Decade In the 1990s, Apple will expand its role in both personal computing and enterprise computing. This will be driven by a focused product strategy that provides: • Rapid advances in our System 7 software architecture • Breakthroughs in how people interact with computers, fostered by the power of RISC • Enterprisewide client/server integration and A/UX-based open Macintosh computers and servers • An object-oriented operating system that will revolutionize the economics of software development for enterprise computing, code-named “Pink.” Our goal is to help people, individually and in organizations, transform the way they work, learn, and communicate by offering exceptional computing products and customer services. Apple will continue to be known as the company that leads the industry by providing powerful, innovative technologies that are easy to use. Our product strategy begins, as always, with Macintosh. The new products will complement and coexist with our current products, sharing data, networks, printers, file servers, and application software. A smooth migration path is a fundamental part of each new product development effort. We think that these new products will be important to the entire industry. Apple believes that its role is to develop rich platforms upon which powerful and easy-to-use applications software can be created by other companies. As the computer industry increasingly requires complex interdependencies for the development of new industry standards, Apple will no longer go the distance alone. Whenever technologies can best be developed and marketed through partnerships, alliances, and licensing arrangements, we will do so. We expect to work closely with other major industry players.

  • A Technical History of Apple's Operating Systems
    A Technical History of Apple’s Operating Systems Amit Singh A Supplementary Document for Chapter 1 from the book Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach. Copyright © Amit Singh. All Rights Reserved. Portions Copyright © Pearson Education. Document Version 2.0.1 (July 28, 2006) Latest version available at http://osxbook.com/book/bonus/chapter1/ This page intentionally left blank. Dear Reader This is a supplementary document for Chapter 1 from my book Mac OS X In- ternals: A Systems Approach. A subset (about 30%) of this document ap- pears in the book as the first chapter with the title Origins of Mac OS X. This document is titled A Technical History of Apple’s Operating Systems. Whereas the book’s abridged version covers the history of Mac OS X, this document’s coverage is considerably broader. It encompasses not only Mac OS X and its relevant ancestors, but the various operating systems that Apple has dabbled with since the company’s inception, and many other systems that were direct or indirect sources of inspiration. This was the first chapter I wrote for the book. It was particularly difficult to write in terms of the time and other resources required in researching the mate- rial. I often had to find and scavenge ancient documentation, software, and hardware (all actual screenshots shown in this document were captured first hand.) However, I couldn’t include the chapter in its original form in the book. The book grew in size beyond everybody’s expectations—1680 pages! There- fore, it was hard to justify the inclusion of this much history, even if it is inter- esting history.
