<p>Apple Previews Next Version of Mac OS X<br />
New Version 10.1 Features Blazing Speed and Aqua Enhancements</p>
<p>MACWORLD EXPO, NEW YORK-July 18, 2001-At the Macworld Expo Keynote, Apple<br />
today previewed Mac OS X version 10.1, the first major upgrade to Apple's<br />
new UNIX-based operating system. Mac OS X v10.1 will deliver significant<br />
performance improvements, new features and additional refinements to the<br />
Aqua interface. Mac OS X v10.1 will be available this September and will<br />
be supported by more than 1,000 third-party native applications.</p>
<p>""""""""This new version of Mac OS X is really fast, and incorporates many<br />
suggestions from our users, such as the moveable Dock that can be placed on<br />
the left, bottom or right edge of the screen,"""""""" said Steve Jobs, Apple's<br />
CEO. """"""""We've fixed a lot of bugs, and added a lot of great new features,<br />
like burning CDs right from the Finder and the ability to seamlessly<br />
network with Windows clients and servers.""""""""</p>
<p>Mac OS X v10.1 delivers improved performance, with dramatically faster<br />
application launch times, blindingly fast menus and window resizing, faster<br />
logins and a more responsive feel overall. In addition, Mac OS X v10.1<br />
features an enhanced Aqua interface, with a moveable Dock, which can be<br />
placed on the right, bottom or left edge of the screen; Dock menus that<br />
enable running applications to present a menu from their Dock icon<br />
providing fast access to commonly performed functions; and new menu items<br />
for frequently used system controls like battery, AirPort, monitors and<br />
sound.</p>
<p>Mac OS X v10.1 is the ultimate digital hub, with the ability to create a<br />
music library and burn music CDs with iTunes, burn data CDs from the<br />
Finder, make movies with iMovie 2, watch DVDs with the DVD Player and<br />
create DVDs with iDVD.</p>
<p>Macworld attendees also had the opportunity to see their favorite<br />
applications and third-party peripherals work natively with Mac OS X v10.1.<br />
Top developers including Microsoft, Adobe, Quark, FileMaker, IBM,<br />
Alias|Wavefront, Aspyr, Blizzard, Connectix and WorldBook showed their<br />
support by demonstrating new applications running on Mac OS X.</p>
<p>Throughout the operating system, Apple has ensured that Mac OS X v10.1<br />
fully leverages its UNIX-based design, significantly increases performance<br />
and provides new features including:</p>
<p>* dramatically enhanced system performance, especially application launch<br />
time and window resizing;<br />
* fine tuning of the Aqua interface for a more customizable experience that<br />
includes the ability to position the Dock on the left, the right or at the<br />
bottom of the screen;<br />
* data CD burning capabilities within the Finder and DVD video playback and<br />
authoring capabilities to support iDVD, making Mac OS X the ultimate engine<br />
for the digital hub;<br />
* broadened support for hundreds of third-party peripherals such as<br />
printers, cameras, camcorders, MP3 players, rewriteable drives and storage<br />
devices;<br />
* unprecedented network integration with Mac, Windows, Linux and UNIX<br />
environments through AFP/AppleTalk, SMB/CIFS, WebDAV and NFS file services<br />
running on Mac OS X Server, AppleShare, UNIX, Linux, Windows NT and<br />
Windows 2000 servers;<br />
* greatly enhanced 3D graphics performance with updated OpenGL software and<br />
full support for NVIDIA GeForce3;<br />
* a more powerful and efficient iDisk leveraging the Internet standard<br />
WebDAV protocol to allow users to stay connected to their iDisk, even<br />
behind corporate firewalls;<br />
* substantial improvements to AppleScript throughout the system and full<br />
support for Internet scripting using SOAP and XML; and<br />
* the final version of Internet Explorer 5.1 with full support for Mac OS<br />
X's Java 2 runtime.</p>
