-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They have spent 3 months already since Apple sent to the market the third great revision of its operating system star, Mac OS X 10,3, more known with the name “Panther”. In this period of time we have been able to on approval put the new bet of the company of the Apple, and the results have been encouraging. We can say, without doubt, that we are before a mature version, stable and - by fast super aim of the UNIX for Macintosh. The transition to the X has concluded and no longer there is return back. Good bye, Classic.
The 24 of March of 2001 Apple lay the foundations of which it would have to be the new operating system of the company, with the presentation of Mac OS X 10.0. At that time, the priority number one was the stability and reliability of the equipment, and for the sake of that one so important factors for the usability were sacrificed as the speed of answer of the graphical surroundings, the comfort of navigation by folders, “the total” privileges of the user, the connectivity with old systems, the configuration and use of printers, native compatibility with existing applications… and a long etc. The base of traditional users of computers Macintosh, customary to the benefits, ease of use and previous operative system management (that happened to denominate Classic since then) raised the roof, and only a group of pioneers we dared to take a step forwards. Soon we would discover that, in spite of being a version 1.0, the surprising stability and characteristics outposts of the X replaced its defects fully, until the point to turn the migration an irreversible process and without reverse gear.
In the version 10.1 Apple it centered his efforts in the usability of the system and the filed one of harshness, task that occurred by finalized with the presentation of Mac OS X 10,2, alias Jaguar. The appearance of Jaguar supposed, finally the revolution that Apple had been hoping. The users felt of return in house and the manufacturers of Software that had still not migrated to the new surroundings take advantage of to send native versions of their programs that, in many occasions, are incompatible with Classic. Throughout year and Apple means he is sending progressive improvements of the system in form of updates automatic via Internet, turning to Mac OS X mature, stable and robust the system that always we had dreamed. And finally the 21 of October of 2003, the company is ready to take a step forwards. The migration has concluded, it is hour of which begins the celebration.
