The interface response times compared to earlier Apple operating systems showed that Mac OS X still had a long way to go in terms of interface performance. Interface Responsiveness -Its slow application launch speed and user interface response speed.The new OS X demanded an (at that time: whopping!) 128 MB of RAM and 800 MB of disk space. It featured Apple’s brand new user interface Aqua and the first versions of apps like TextEdit, Preview, Mail, and QuickTime. File-sharing server -As a server, the system can share files using only the Apple Filling Protocol(over TCP/IP), HTTP, SSH, and FTP.It cannot use SMB to connect to Windows or Samba servers.
File-sharing client -The system can only use TCP/IP,not AppleTalk, to connect to servers sharing the Apple Filling Protocol.While many critics suggested that the operating system was not ready for mainstream adoption, they recognized the importance of its initial launch as a base on which to improve. The initial version was slow, incomplete, and had very few applications available at the time of its launch, mostly from independent developers. On March 24, 2001, Apple released Mac OS X 10.0 (internally codenamed Cheetah). Mac OS X Public Beta expired and ceased to function in spring 2001. It marked the first public availability of the Aqua interface, and Apple made many changes to the UI based on customer feedback. On SeptemApple released a $29.95 “preview” version of Mac OS X (internally codenamed Kodiak) in order to gain feedback from users. 13 For mobile devices Apple produces a specific version of OS X called iOS, which works on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad 14 and Apple TV. The first version of the system was Mac OS X Server 1.0 in 1999, and as for the desktop, it was Mac OS X v10.0 «Cheetah» (published on March 24, 2001).
