Do you forget what Apple in '96 was? Or are you saying that Tahoe is too polished for the Apple of '96?
Apple was not a bastion of quality in the 90's. They couldn't modernize the Mac OS, and that continued with little more than window dressing over what was released in the 80's. The Mac line up was a horrible mess of barely different models that needed a Ph.D to figure out what was different. The company was bleeding money and seriously close to bankruptcy.
The Apple of the mid 90's wishes it could release something like Tahoe.
- pjmlp 7mo agoYes the 1996 Apple was on the edge of bankruptcy, yet Mac OS 8 was definitely much more polished than Tahoe.
- mhurron 7mo agoYa ok, unless you looked at it wrong, then it crashed. OS 8 was a platinum theme over System 7. Which was a slightly better System 6, which wasn't significantly different than System 4. System 7 was good for the time, OS 8 and 9 were not, and Apples inability to improve the OS were really starting to show. Windows 95 was a more stable OS than OS 8. Tahoe is better.
- pjmlp 7mo agoHow many Tahoe related radar issues do you want?
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoYeah - an OS that crashed every time you launched Netscape and you as an end user had to manually allocate memory to apps? Not to mention that the OS itself was still mostly 68K emulated code even on PPC Macs and holding the mouse down over the menu caused all apps to stop running.
- pjmlp 7mo agoAt least you could read the text and resize windows.
