First version which will not run on PowerPC G3 Macs Intel versions are available either as grey "OEM" discs though or hacked versions, the retail discs are PowerPC-only (except 10.4.7 Server which was a Universal retail DVD). 10.4.1 is available as a pre-installed VMware image from Apple's Developer Transition Kit machine, while 10.4.4 was the first version available publicly for Intel machines. Originally released for PowerPC only but subsequently released for Intel too. First version to require at least a PowerPC G3 processor (all versions of OS X were only supported on G3 or higher but 10.0-10.2 could be made to run on some older machines too) First version where the cat codename was used on the packaging and in marketing materials
#Vista emulator for mac upgrade
Very similar to 10.0 with a cheap/free upgrade for 10.0 users offered, 10.0 is often seen as a second public beta First version which can be run in the PearPC emulator of the PowerPC processor on a PC, 10.1-10.4 can be used Releases from hereon in are all available as both client and server editions Retail, first released version of what most people would recognise as OS X Can only be run on supported PowerPC Macs, date also needs to be set back as this build has an expiry date Beta, publicly available through retail channels for a reduced price though, which was then given back as a discount on 10.0 when released
#Vista emulator for mac mac os x
Mac OS X Public Beta (beta, was publicly available) DP1 and 2 did not have Aqua and were similar to Rhapsody and OS X Server 1.x, while DP3 and 4 introduced Aqua Can only be run on supported PowerPC Macs Does not have Aqua interface, this is basically the release version of Rhapsody, although was not a big seller before what we know now as OS X was launched Available for PowerPC and Intel (works with limited success in VMware, can work well on some PCs from around the time it was made, old IBM ThinkPads work especially well with it) Basically NeXTSTEP with Apple's name on it
This topic is intended to provide a quick-reference list of all the main beta and release versions of Mac OS X, along with a few notes on them and how what hardware or emulators you need to run each version on.
