The Road To OS X #4: Public Beta, 10.0, and 10.1 - Tech Tales Podcast
4In 1999, Apple finally had everything it needed to revitalize the Macintosh. It had a nearly-completed modern operating system, it had Steve Jobs as interim CEO, and it had developers promising to build apps for the new platform. Now all Apple had to do was release the Mac OS update that had been in development since the late 80's and hope for the best.
Hosted by Corbin Davenport, guest starring Cody Toombs.
