A journey in time with MacOS.
The video shows the Finder in each version of the software, from System, through the feline-named systems of the 00s the more recent systems named after California landmarks. We see several other parts of the UI too, including the About This Mac menu, the Control Panel and QuickTime. It's a fascinating visual recap of how the system's evolved.
There are things that have been lost along the way and will bring back memories for some, like the 'puzzle' in the Apple menu and the Font Mover app. And the changes in QuickTime and Control Panel in particular show the drastic improvements in what's possible technologically. But while MacOS has clearly evolved, those early graphical systems are by no means unrecognisable. The history lesson also shows how Apple has stuck to key UI principles to ensure that users upgrading with each update can intuitively find their way around. Would a user from 1984 be able to negotiate MacOS 13? They'd be blown away by the graphics , and they'd be bamboozled by the sheer quantity of applications, but that trusty menu bar would still give them somewhere to get started.
