kalisphoenix Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I really like the multitasking capabilities of the iPod OS, personally. Far superior to OS 9's.

HardyMachia Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 It would have to be Newton OS. Still the best all around OS, development system, and user experience for handhelds.

Guest terry Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 LisaOS and A/UX. If you allow to subsume NeXT under Apple's history after their merger: definitely OpenStep 4.2.

niteice Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 OS 9, 10.3, Darwin. Marklar is still too slow on my system (vmware overhead) for me to really judge it, but I'm liking it.

sanity Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'd have to say that System 6.0.7 was my favourite before OS X.. Only because System 7 never ran on my Spectre GCR..

mikesown Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I've always loved OS 7.x with At Ease(used to use it at the school where I went to quite some time ago). Got used to the interface . In addition to 7.x, I've loved the 8.x-9.x interface for the menu bar shadowing up top, and the icons... it's hard to explain why you love a UI, but I LOVE the classic UI. Don't get me wrong, I like OSX, but there is something about how classic looked with the file browser and the rectangle that expanded when you clicked on a file that I've always fell in love with . Dunno why, but I love classic! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76-what-oses-made-by-apple-do-you-like/#findComment-18816 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno why, but I love classic! Yeah I feel you, ain't no OS UI I love more than classic's, even if I think OS X's is cool. Maybe it's because i've been using from 7.5 to 8.5 for 8 years and that it's so familiar to me, but I really love this interface and anything in it, even been looking for a long time a way to get my Windows desktop icons to the right instead of the left (but never could find it, I think it changes anything tho..)

ultimategeek Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Oh, don't even get me started. - Mac OS 7.5.x - LisaOS - Newton OS 2.1 - A/UX - Mac OS X 10.1 - 10.4 I heart Apple!

FluffyWithTeeth Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 MacOS, A/UX, LisaOS, Pixo, MacOS X,and if you count it, OpenSTEP, NeXTSTEP, and BeOS what in God's name does Apple have to do with BeOS? The only relation between the companies was Be trying to sell Apple the Os, and being turned down..
