Remember 1992 when most likely you were using DOS and Windows 3.11? Turns out I was using the wrong OS back then. I just found this presentation of NextStep R3 which was released in 1992. It’s really mind blowing how advanced that OS already was. Many of the concepts shown are still used in modern OSes like Mac OS X or new versions of Windows. Well, of course Mac OS X evolved from NextStep but it’s really remarkable to see how many features only came to life when Mac OS X was introduced 10 years later. It looks like it really took 10 years for the world (or Apple?) to recorgnize the potential of NextStep! Just to name a few things shown in 1992 which can be found in current versions of Mac OS X and are now really popular: the dock, services, mail, the finder
