Mac OS
Apple introduced the Macintosh computer in 1984 and it had a very easy-to-use interface — the first popular WIMP(Window, Icon, Menu and Pointer) interface. The OS on the first Mac was simply called System. Many previous versions using the word ‘system’ are system 1–7 in which System 7 was the last version to use the “System” name.
With update 7.6, Apple dropped the title and renamed it Mac OS. Mac OS X was the tenth version of the Mac series of operating systems which has many updated features as compared to its previous ones. Similarly, Max OS X has many updated versions and Apple has named each version after large cats. These all versions of Mac OS X are shown in the figure bellow.
