September 13, 2010 marks the tenth anniversary of the Mac OS X Public Beta. To mark the occasion, we're running John Siracusa's review of the public beta that originally ran on October 15, 2000. Enjoy the trip down memory lane!

What is Mac OS X Public Beta?

Let's disassemble the product name 'Mac OS X Public Beta.' First, Mac OS X (yes, still pronounced 'ten,' not 'ex') is the name of Apple's upcoming next generation operating system. The five previous articles in this series should give you a good picture of the Mac OS X development process so far:

• Mac OS X DP2: A Preview 12/14/1999
• Mac OS X Update: Quartz & Aqua 1/17/2000
• Mac OS X DP3: Trial by Water 2/28/2000
• Mac OS X DP4 5/24/2000
• Mac OS X Q & A 6/20/2000

Next, the word 'Public' signifies that the product is for sale to anyone with $29.95. Previous releases of Mac OS X have been available only to registered Apple developers.

Finally, the 'Beta' means...well, what does it mean? Some people contend that 'beta' means 'feature-complete, but still buggy.' Others consider it simply 'more stable than alpha.' The only real common ground these days is that 'beta' means 'unfinished.' Whether that means merely that bugs still exist or that entire features remain unimplemented has to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Taken all together, 'Mac OS X Public Beta' (referred to as 'Public Beta' or just 'Beta' in this article) means that for $29.95 you get an unfinished, buggy version of Apple's next generation operating system. Charging for public beta software is increasingly common among the big software companies. I paid for my copy, and it doesn't bother me too much. If you don't want to pay for buggy software, don't buy the beta. (Save your complaining for the price tag on the final Mac OS X release.)

Ideally, Apple would make the beta available for free download, possibly with the caveat that downloading does not entitle the user to the same feedback privileges afforded to paying customers. This would require some sort of proof-of-purchase verification during the feedback process. Currently, Apple's form for Mac OS X Beta feedback is open to anyone, since (presumably) anyone that has a copy of Beta is a paying customer. In reality, you can find disk images of the beta online with a little effort, and since there's no purchase verification, your feedback has the same weight as the paying users' does. Six of one, half a dozen of the other, I guess.

Public Beta has been anxiously awaited by many Mac fans, even those that had access to the developer releases. Readers of this series are no doubt wondering if the issues raised in previous articles have been addressed in Beta. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but anyone who's read about the basic features of Public Beta elsewhere on the Web ought to know the answer to that question already. Ask yourself how different Mac OS X Public Beta is from the last development release, Mac OS X DP4.

Still not sure (or in denial) about how Beta stacks up? Read on and find out.

NOTE WELL: This article deals with Mac OS X Public Beta, NOT Mac OS X. Mac OS X Public Beta is a work in progress, not a finished product. You can, however, purchase Public Beta as an actual product, so it will be subject to a more critical eye than the developer releases were. Any and all features present in Public Beta are subject to change before release, but the window for such changes continues to shrink as APIs get locked down and software developers move their Mac OS X products closer to completion.

Is your Mac up to date with the latest version of the Mac operating system? Is it using the version required by a product that you want to use with your Mac? Which versions are earlier (older) or later (newer, more recent)? To find out, learn which version is installed now.

If your macOS isn't up to date, you may be able to update to a later version.

Which macOS version is installed?

From the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Big Sur, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.

Which macOS version is the latest?

These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Big Sur. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.

If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.
