Merge with Mac OS X v10.0?

[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

With 4 votes for and 8 votes against a merge after nearly 4 months, we have no consensus to merge. -- simxp (talk) 14:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge Does this really need it's own page? If we merge it with Mac OS X v10.0, half the article would fit neatly into a "Development" section, and the other half is duplicated in that page already. -- Simxp

Apple did release the beta with the apple logo in the centre, otherwise the person that uploaded it wouldn't of. --MacMad (talk · contribs)  18:50, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Macosxpb.png

[edit]

Image:Macosxpb.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Merge With Mac OS X

[edit]

I don't really know what I am doing but I think this should be merged into Mac OS X since it relates a lot to early versions of Mac OS X. This article also only has 2 references for the entire page. IS this a good idea? Stealth (talk) 10:37, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Mac OS X Public Beta should be merged with the Mac OS X article. Mac OS X Public Beta is just another version of Mac OS X. Signed, Unknown (talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Punkermunker (talkcontribs) 13:59, June 22, 2008
Each boxed release of Mac OS X has a separate article. So unless you are suggesting that we merge Mac OS X v10.0, Mac OS X v10.1, Mac OS X v10.2, etc... AlistairMcMillan (talk)
Sorry also meant to say, if you think the article is lacking in references then the tag you are looking for is "refimprove" not "merge". AlistairMcMillan (talk) 22:18, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you're looking for references, the original Ars Technica review of the public beta (http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2000/10/macos-x-beta.ars )might be a good source. Thavron (talk) 03:02, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this page renamed to "OS X 10.0 Public Beta"?

[edit]

Currently it can be found in Google by a [os x beta] query which most people mean to find Yosemite 10.10 Beta, and renaming this page could reduce the confusion they experience when getting to this page. --DenisYurkin (talk) 13:13, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Carbon bias?

[edit]

The poor state of the Carbon API contrasted with the relative maturity of Cocoa gave rise to an anti-Carbon bias among OS X users That's a qualitative and subjective assessment. Not that it matters, but it's also ignorant and wrong.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:cb18:2ba:e300:4451:c312:eea9:360 (talk) 5:41, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Internal demo by Jobs at Macworld 2000

[edit]

Shouldn't a mention be made of the demo Jobs showed at Macworld 2000? It was (I believe) an internal demo predecessor to 10.0. E.g. the dock was different. http://cdn.cultofmac.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/os_x_aqua.jpg Gold333 (talk) 00:10, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
