Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah
Cheetah was released on March 24, 2001, and although it had some negative criticism, for having some flaws, it was not so bad received as it was thought that to be the first version was not bad.
Cheetah was the software that laid the foundation for all subsequent versions of Mac OS X. -
Mac OS X 10.1 Puma
Puma was the second major update of Mac OS X, with it began to notice the convention we know of Apple, which dictated that all versions of the software would have the name of big cat.
Puma meant an improvement over Cheetah, however, it still was not considered a mature operating system, as it had many areas of opportunity.
The software was released on September 25, 2001 as a free update for users who had Mac OS X 10.0. -
Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar
With Jaguar there was a certain maturity of Apple's desktop operating system. The users had fewer complaints and the reviews praised the improvements made with respect to their previous version. At a price of $ 129, Jaguar was the option to stay current in software issues, if you owned a Mac.
This OS X update was released on August 23, 2002. -
OS X 10.3 Panther
Apple was still accustomed to its users to various things, and Panther came to confirm that Apple's operating system updates would be released every year, which would be priced at $ 129 and would have the name of big cats.
The previous conventions established with the releases are no longer valid, the software has changed price, and as we will see later, the name of big cats and the time interval in which the update is launched may vary.
Panther was released on October 24, 2003. -
OS X 10.4 Tiger
Tiger has the honor of being the Mac OS X update that has lasted the longest without having a replacement from Apple. Its validity as Apple's most current system was approximately 30 months. -
Mac OS X Leopard (10.5)
During the life of Leopard, Apple made the change of processors in their Macs, from Power PC to Intel, and it was for that reason that Leopard was the first update of the operating system to work with Intel processors, although, as is ovbio, It could work with both. -
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
The intention to launch Snow Leopard was to make improvements in the "back end" of the system, since the visual changes were few. Snow Leopard was the first of the versions of Mac OS X that worked only on Mac computers with Intel processor.
Another feature, was that unlike previous versions of the operating system, it had a price of only $ 29 dollars. -
OS X 10.7 Lion
Lion was the eighth major update of Apple's operating system. Initially it was announced that it would only be distributed as a download through the Mac App Store, at a price of $ 29 dollars, however, once launched, Apple decided to make it available through a USB stick that had a price of $ 69 dollars. -
Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
Mountain Lion came as an improvement, or refinement, of what Lion is, its previous version. It was the first update of OS X to be distributed exclusively through download in the Mac App Store.
It was expected that this version of the operating system was very similar to what could be seen in the operating system of Apple's mobile devices (iOS), however, it did not happen and some users were disappointed by that, but many others were happy and even in the reviews of the specialized press. -
OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Mavericks brought some visual improvements and other improvements in efficiency and performance, and also makes the system a little more similar to what we are used to operating in a browser. This version of the Apple desktop operating system breaks with the convention of the names of big cats, since its name is taken from a place in California known for its waves suitable for surfing.
