Mac OS X Developer Preview 4
I was at an apple user group meeting today and these apple employees gave out some old stuff.
I picked up a developer preview 4 of os x cause I remember i was really excited about os x for a long time prior it's release and never knew anything about it. therefore, I wanted to check it out, and see what os x was like a whole year before it was released. The cd is dated May 2000.
Unfortunately my computer is not os 9 bootable and I cannot install it.
So is there anyone here that used the developer preview back then? Could you tell me a bit about what it was like?
Thanks,
STeve.

Now, do you know what kind of a machine I could run it on?
At that time, I installed it on my trusty old iMac Bondi.
so the CRT iMac would work.

was it REALLY slow?
Do you think it's worth a try?

well.. if you have the time and the right Macs.. why not?
DP4 vs. 10.3.3
What a major improvement, right? [compared to WinME and XP SP1]
I'll have to dig up my Hera build CDs for kicks and giggles one day. I might even still have the Atlas ones around here.
(For those of you who are lost, Hera and Atlas predated DP1 by over a year.)
Having a DP4 disk is much nicer on the shelf than on the HD....
