Six months later Apple released Puma (10.1) which added lots of missing features from the first OS X release, notably including DVD playback support. The first official release of Mac OS X, 10.0, was known as Cheetah, and came out in March of 2001. Not a member of the feline family at all! Not unreasonable since Apple is a California-based company.īut even before that, the very first beta version of Mac OS X (back when most people were using MacOS 9 and had no idea what true multitasking was) had the codename “Kodiak”.ĭo some homework and Kodiak is a city in Alaska and the name of a type of bear both. Heck, the very latest version is Sierra.Īpple ran out of animal names at some point (actually the introduction of 10.9) and switched to famous spots in California. Well, I’m afraid your buddy is correct that not every release of Mac OS X has been named after a cat.
