Today marks the tenth anniversary of the Mac OS X, the seventh major review probably will be released in June of that year. OS x has undergone major transformation over the years and constitutes an immense progress of OS 9, OS replaces it, but yet the greatest changes are to come.
Apple has made it clear that the move forward, we expect a very different experience for all of its equipment to the OS and the Mac is not an exception to this rule. OS x 10.7, also known as the lion, is no longer available as a developer preview, so we have a fairly good idea of what you can see, when you get general release later this year. And what we are is a healthy injection of iOS in our beloved Apple desktop operating system. Full-screen applications with bezstykowa to switch; iOS style of animation, menu and navigation; installation of the application, the organisation and management directly from Apple iDevices: all it sums to the significant changes.
Of course, OS X is still in OS X, from the menu bar, Finder, dock, update software and many other features of the transfer. But don't expect to be known as to outweigh the very new for longer. Apple may provide a gradual transition to avoid alienating existing customers but iOS is a way for the future, and the numbers of that backup.
iOS participation in general market operating system (desktop and laptop computers) has climbed to about two per cent of the total output approaching OS X 5 percentage according to NetApplications. It seems like small potatoes compared to Windows ' 90 per cent of the total share, but actually represents a significant progress if you take into account how long Microsoft completely dominated the World Ranking by even wider margin of OS. iOS was so rapid growth compared with OS X and Apple continue to more and more devices iOS of each year, while sales of Mac remains relatively flat, so Apple will be where public buying-in wants to be, and this meansthat iOS.
So, if it was a symbolic gesture sealing deal, father of Mac OS x, Bertrand Serlet, announced his departure from Apple on Wednesday. As is often the case of most high-level executive departures, it is difficult to determine who has decided it is time to move, but I suspect Apple took the Lion will be the last instalment of OS X, and the Move is intended to serve as clean break prior to the arrival of something else.
And it will be something else. Do not expect to see menu bars, smiley icon in the Finder, or even folders or file Explorer, readily available in the next iteration of Mac OS. If iOS is a model by which the next Mac OS will be cut to look forward rather than to the deep surface of the computer, which automatically supports storing files, save, and associations. Expect dramatic re-imagining (or even a direct replacement of) the concept of a window the computing environment. First and foremost, expect things is easier, more gated and more focus on touch than ever seen before. Regardless of whether it is a promising vision of the future is daunting, or how to use and think about, but it does not change the fact that it's coming.
If you want to see the future of the Mac OS, do not open the clamshell from your MacBook Pro; Pull the iPhone with the pocket or take a peek at your iPad smart cover. There may be significant hurdles for bridging the gap between traditional and computing post-PC, but no company is better positioned to maintain than Apple.
