This isn't the most entertaining part of the series, but it does have a lot of information about Apple in 1999 and of their future plans.

Carbon is a main application environment in Mac OS X, a few example programs that are inside it are the Finder, Adobe software, and iTunes (as of Mac OS X 10.5). Carbon combines much of the old Mac OS API with some new stuff. Apple has been phasing Carbon out of the UI realm and it is now becoming the standard set of APIs for background and low level tasks. Cocoa is the primary environment of graphical applications in OS X.

This also starts to explain Apple's new move into the open source market. The core OS of Rhapsody was redesigned as an open source project known as Darwin, QuckTime Streaming Server was also released as a compiled system on Mac OS X, and as source code for Linux and Windows NT.

HyperCard was a technology that allowed anyone to easily create interactive software without programming skills. It can be seen similar to what Flash is today.

@DanishSegaGamer They didn't steal from Xerox, they legally licensed the technology. Xerox even invited them to do it. So no, you're the one with a twisted view on history.

Sooo many twisted truths in these vids.. Why don't you ever mention how Apple stole from XeroX which was crucial for Apple's success? Just an example... and when did Apple ever have success in games? At first i thought it was very interesting vids, but then it just started to go all fanboyish

Nice series, fun to watch. Will there be a part 5 in the future? My favorite thing about this is reading the comments and it makes me think of my family. My parents are Windows, my girlfriend is Mac and I am Linux. Whatever works for you, I just like the history of it all.

The only bad thing that keeps OSX or any new OS from getting ahead of Windows is that you just cant use it with any custom build computer. MS will still stay ahead if they do not support aa mirad of hardware instead of being biased to a certian few.

@sebasrobot55 That would be quite a feat to pull off, if they did use Apple's software at the time it would of be the industry standard Final Cut Pro and Shake (for compositing the CGI to the footage).
