![]() Mac OS X 10.0 was released in March of 2001, but its history goes back to 1997, when Apple bought a company called NeXT and brought a promising operating system called NeXTSTEP and a guy named Steve Jobs into its fold. If Apple won't do it, then it's up to us to give Mac OS X a funeral of its own. Accordingly, Apple has made a way smaller deal about the jump from 10 to 11 than it did the jump from 9 to 10-understandable, given that Mac OS X was intended as a very bold, confident statement that years of Mac OS vaporware, false starts, and broken promises had come to an end. The first two macOS 11 developer betas were labeled "macOS 10.16," and macOS 11 is a whole lot more similar to macOS 10.15 than 10.15 is to 10.0. Version numbers are a construct, and they don't confer any specific meaning or power on their own.
