A Technical History of Apple's Operating Systems

"This is a supplementary document for Chapter 1 from my book Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach. A subset (about 30%) of this document appears in the book as the first chapter with the title Origins of Mac OS X," writes Amit Singh.

"The document is titled A Technical History of Apple's Operating Systems. Whereas the book's abridged version covers the history of Mac OS X, this document's coverage is considerably broader. It encompasses not only Mac OS X and its relevant ancestors, but the various operating systems that Apple has dabbled with since the company's inception, and many systems that were direct or indirect sources of inspiration."
