I have Mavericks as my main OS (because I can still run iTunes 10...), but I also run VMs of Snow Leopard and Sierra. Sierra is S-L-O-W but Snow Leopard is lightning fast, much faster than Mavericks.
El Capitan was the last good one, Sierra is okay (6 months after release, which was never seen), and High Sierra was a nightmare. Snow Leopard days will remains as a macOS wet dream, a solid operating system to rule them all, stability, functionality. Only a Steve Job work.
It's amazing how relatively little OSX has changed visually throughout the years, at least in terms of layout and overall look, especially compared to windows.
My favourites were: 10.4 Tiger; 10.6 Snow Leopard; 10.10 Yosemite and 10.12 Sierra (to a lesser extent). 10.13 High Sierra was to be an under-the-hood release focussing on improvements, but actually I find that _it_ needs to be improved. And vastly, at that…
@RobloxerMartin Why the h*ll do you want to stick to 32bit, though? I have news for you... Windows won't be able to run 32bit apps for long either, and there are Linux distros which have been blocking 32bit apps for ages... I know switching to a "new" architecture may require you to purchase certain apps again, which is a pain, but to be stuck in the past will eventually cause you far more of a pain. The main issue that I have with having to re-purchase apps is that, more often than not, you _can't_ purchase apps outright any more. Everybody and their aunt seems to want to tie you in to a subscription model. _That's_ what I consider a failure...
My Favorite version was Snow Leopard. It ran so well for the time. Now, that I understand High Sierra to be a performance update. I'll stay with it for a little while longer. It does work well as a modern day OS. Thank you for this input.
Another reason for the long period of time between Tiger and Leopard: With the transition to Intel going on, Tiger for Intel practically was its own major OS release.
Honestly cook isn't the full reason for the problems, remember when Jobs was CEO and Apple "Fired" him, the company is ran by large investors and board members. Cook's final thoughts are only a portion of what is going on. If the board members are still as money driven as when they fired Jobs, i'd say Cook has done nothing wrong and is just another puppet to a large company. But, not saying Cook is free from many of his questionable descisons lol
I agree. Several year's ago bought a used 2010 mac mini (the last one with a built-in DVD super drive) and planned to upgrade it from Leopard all the way to Mountain Lion but learned that my older OS X programs (i.e. Apple Works) would not run if, upgraded past Snow Leopard and also, I would have to say good by to Front Row.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Funny though… the other day I was thinking it would be fun to have something that could change the look of the user interface to look on the surface like older versions of MacOS. Useless I know but just something fun. As much as I love the look and power of the current operating system, there’s something nostalgic about the old pre-OSX operating systems from the 1990’s.
When I bought my PowerMac G4 DA, it came with the beta, with a coupon for the full version of OS X for free! I left work early when my Apple retailer received the full version! I almost didn't get a copy as they went FAST!

Well at first it was experimental; I installed 10.9 on an external hard drive to see what it was like. Eventually I ended up installing it on actual hardware because I like the design of it so much.
from a MacBook Air user since mavericks era. High Sierra feels kinda snappier but also a lot more crash. It feels faster yet unstable, but that might be only me since I use developer version. Yosemite is the sweet spot for me.
There's a website to download Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra, and High Sierra. These are all legitimate installers, they are just archived by someone.
The last version my MacBook (Mid 2009) can update to is El Capitan, which is also the last version of Mac OS X to use the iconic Macintosh startup sound. Never letting go of that.
TheLakitu Lol clearly you didn’t know where the “jaguire” pronunciation came from Steve Jobs used to say “jaguire” back when it was introduced, hence this TH-camr saying “jaguire” as well
Snow Leopard was my favorite for a long time, updated a partitioned drive to Mavericks to test new software and settled onto El Capitan eventually. Only decided to go into High Sierra after buying a backup laptop. Until then, I don't have a good reason to get Mojave yet.
It's impossible to overstate just how good an update Panther was. It literally fixed everything from the previous version and the was release that had comparable performance to OS9.
Not everyone has the money to buy the lastest OS. Many use the beta as means to test the OS to see if they will like it. Plus if it is free, you allow more people to test. More people testing provides are more real world testing scenario which all test all aspects of a system and find more bugs.
Why can everyone understand the fact that "Mac OS X" is the name of the system while still looking for Windws 11 since "Windows 10" got basicaly the same naming method? Is it because Apple used Roman characters makes it looks more like a product name while Microsoft did not, make "Windows 10" looks like a serial number?
Some important things most people may know already, but you didn't mentioned it: Snow Leopard was the first Intel-only Mac OS X; Lion was 64 Bit only and the first to support Retina-Displays (HiDPI) ... I for myself have almost all Mac OS X releases running on both, PearPC (emulator), and Real PowerPC and Intel-Mac hardware. Even one of it on a Hackintosh ;-)
High Sierra is the upgrade noone really needed because Sierra is still rocking.. guess it is good to live with it.. but it is also not hurt if you don't.
My favorite Mac OS is 10.7 Lion since it was the last version that allowed me to open AVCHD files with the MTS extension by quickly double-clicking through the folders. With the introduction of 10.8, we were forced to right-click and select "Show Package Contents" to get to the same files.
does anyone know where I can download OS X 10.9 Mavericks I can't find it no where, but I'm sure somebody out there knows something, all I can find is the update combo 10.9.5 this would be greatly appreciated!!!
With snow leopard being the last os concentrating on improvements to the os over integration with the wider apple ecosystem it truly was the best version
I came into Apple for my own computer use starting at OSX Panther. With the white plastic iBook G4 with 512MB RAM and the little flashing white light upon sleep on the latch button. I also thought their overall user experience and GUI was more intuitive and fun to use than Windows. They consistently improve their products similar to how Honda and Toyota keep building upon strong fundamentals. Unix is a good base and they focus on continuity across devices and very sleek and impressive hardware details.
I think that OSX and IOS are the best operating systems ever, I love so much this S.O . I love watching videos and docs about S.O history and old architectures. Its so hard to make a operating system, and Apple guys that before was in Next, made things so, so right with Nextstep ...
It's interesting. When Steve Jobs announced it in 2001, he said Mac OS X was set to last 25 years. So that's interesting because that 25 years is almost up!
I recently Subscribed to this Channel and love it. One comment is that I am shocked at the lack of intelligence of these other viewers/subscribers based on these comments. I just do not understand how these people that leave these comments which clearly demonstrate their petty stupidity could even OWN an Apple product let alone be worthy of one. One rule to abide by as a viewer or subscriber. Have something contributive, constructive and substantial to say or just say nothing and move on.

Andrew Tyberg no it’s Mavericks with s
Now I know what to name my cat if I ever get one
So is Maverick your first cat named after an OS?
I love that name! I should name my next pet "Sierra" if it's a girl and "Yosemite" if it's a boy.

Snow Leopard was one of the sexiest OS releases of all time. The aesthetics and functionality were truly impressive.
Snow Leopard is so stable and not so "iOS-ified"
I have Mavericks as my main OS (because I can still run iTunes 10...), but I also run VMs of Snow Leopard and Sierra. Sierra is S-L-O-W but Snow Leopard is lightning fast, much faster than Mavericks.
I still have snow leopard
still run it on my iMac. so damn stable, smooth, and UI is primo
Mac OS Snep
I love that old, pre-Yosemite UI style. It’s a shame that it isn’t available anymore.
Maciek i always liked the change of Yosemite beacause of the dock and icons.
You can downgrade to Mavericks or before depending on what year your Mac is but you have to erase the hard drive
This is the number one reason I'm still on Mavericks.
Kiyoshi Kirishima this is why I’m still on Mac OS 9.2
MichaelSTheBeast I know how to downgrade to the original os that your Mac ran when it was brand new
They should have stuck with cat names. MacOS Sabertooth sounds much cooler than High Sierra
They used all the names thats why they stopped
lynx, sabretooth, cougar
But, but, *JAGWIRE*
They should've came out with *BLACK JAGWIRE*
George Washington Sabertooth, Lynx, Panther, Ocelot....and there are other feline species.

Mavericks was one of the best. RIP for the old ui design. I wish they kept it. That’s mainly the only reason I haven’t upgraded since.
To mention Leopard without highlighting Quicklook is a huge oversight. One of the most useful features ever in an OS release.

Just so you know, it's pronounced 'JaguAR' not 'Jaguire'
TheLakitu My thoughts exactly 👍
I do, i rather enjoy attacking grammar nazis...they are honestly just as useful as Nazis themselves
TheLakitu Lol clearly you didn’t know where the “jaguire” pronunciation came from
Steve Jobs used to say “jaguire” back when it was introduced, hence this TH-camr saying “jaguire” as well

Not everyone has the money to buy the lastest OS.
Many use the beta as means to test the OS to see if they will like it.
Plus if it is free, you allow more people to test.
More people testing provides are more real world testing scenario which all test all aspects of a system and find more bugs.
