[edit] 'v' in Mac OS X version names
The proper names of the Mac OS X operating system releases have "v" in them, like "Mac OS X v10.0". Apple uses "v10.0" on its web site and in its documentation. Calling it "Mac OS X 10.0" is incorrect. The "X" stands for "10", so "X 10.0" would be redundant. For an example of Apple's use, see [1]. Please discuss at Talk:Mac OS X. - Brian Kendig 03:54, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- This is not the most common usage. A simple Google test shows Mac OS X 10.0 is the most common name [2]. —Cantus…☎ 19:10, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Comparison to Public Beta
I'm surprised there's not a section comparing the Public Beta to 10.0. The Apple Logo in the center of the Public Beta's menu bar got moved, and became an "Apple Menu" again, though it's never been the same as its predecessor in pre-OS X versions. Finder windows have also changed a LOT. The toolbar buttons across the top of a Finder window in the Public Beta, I believe got flattened for the 10.0 release. The pull-down menu for which directory you're in - I'm not sure how long that one survived, it was another Openstep holdover. And the three dots under a Dock icon to indicate an open application, also from Openstep, became a black triangle (when did the Dock gain ability to move? 10.1 or 10.2?) --JohnDBuell | Talk 07:35, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
- Hey there! If you want to add the section you can go ahead =) No one is stopping you and I think it would be a great addition to the article! Just a side note: please increase your use of edit summaries, it makes it a lot easier for people to see what you have done =) TDS (talk • contribs) 15:14, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] USB support
Did Mac OS X v10.0 support USB? Or, if so, were there problems with it? Many peripheral retail packages omit 10.0 when listing compatible systems. ---Ransom --71.4.51.150 22:37, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] A/UX
<QUOTE>XNU kernel - the Unix-like kernel was a first for Macintosh operating systems, and was one of the largest changes from a technical stand point in Mac OS X.</QUOTE> What about A/UX? --206.54.145.254 13:31, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
