The Register UK: Apple Will Make X The Default OS In March, 2002
by , 1:00 PM EST, November 23rd, 2001
The Register UK is reporting that Phil Schiller has hinted that Apple will be making Mac OS X the default OS in its machines in March, 2002. The article doesn't source the comments. From the article:
Phil Schiller, Apple's VP of worldwide marketing, has gone on the record to suggest March as the date when new Macs ship with OS X as default.
Macs have shipped with both the old and the new operating systems preloaded since May, but with OS 9.x as default, and Apple has been pretty cagey so far on even suggesting a date for the big switch.
You can find some additional comments about Mac OS X in the full (but short) article. Thanks to Observer "Lester" for alerting us to the Register's article.
The Mac Observer Spin:
Steve Jobs said it would take about a year to get Mac OS X full ready, and on March 23rd it will have been one year since OS X first shipped. Apple needs to have OS X as the default OS in order to break down the remaining barriers to having companies port their products to the new OS. With that in mind, March can't come soon enough.Warning: include(/usr/local/etc/httpd/sites/macobserver.com/htdocs/forums/extension.inc) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/bbm/macobserver.com/ee2/www/htdocs/comments/comments.php on line 108
