When I was at Apple in the mid 90's (Before Steve) I remember the Mac OS source code had tons of special app checks, mostly for various Microsoft (also others) apps that did odd things, so that older versions would keep running. When they were working on Copland, I thought it was nuts to write a new OS from scratch, but still do reimplement the hacks so that everything would still run. Good thing it all went away.
- junofan 4y agoThey’re still there. IIRC there’s a whole workflow/category in Radar for it.
- nikanj 4y agoWait, I thought the only workflow supported by radar was ticket filed -> ticket ignored -> product eventually EOL -> ticket closed
- stormbrew 4y agoprobably only a 50/50 chance it gets closed tbh. Either way it's in a black hole to the reporter so they'll never know. (I actually liked radar though, as bug trackers go - by far the best internal tool apple has imo)
