Pretty sure it disappointed most people

    Not Apple fans though. They can't wait to use their new Vista!

    Aqua, an OS X theme from before you were born

    I think there was some sort of color support prior to System 7.

    System 6 includes QuickerGraf (originally QuickerDraw), system software used to accelerate the drawing of color images on the Macintosh II.

    Hmm. Apparently System 4 had color support, which is earlier than I expected.

    ...it wasn't until two years later in 1987 that Apple introduced color with the release of the System 4 & the Macintosh II.

    Here's a photo of a IIcx with a color display:

    Get the fuck outta here with that! Any red blooded microphile knows XP was PEAK windows experience. The lower opacity of windows in Vista was a bright spot in an otherwise disgusting experience.

    Yeah, I used to be a typical Apple fanboy circa 2010, always watching the WWDC like I’m going to church.

    Keeping up with Apple over the past several years has been very hit or miss, and watching it yesterday just kind of pissed me off.

    I just checked the Apple website and it doesn’t really look any different to me.

    I can see there are changes, but I don’t even know if the average user will really notice it.

    Sure, I just don’t think it’s really that much different than what we have now. I guess I’m just indifferent to it and don’t think it’s that big of a change.

    after using it for a bit, i’d say in most cases i agree: bit of a nothing burger in a lot of cases (to the point where a few times i’ve thought it was bugged and reverted to the old UI style… it wasn’t), but it’s pretty great when it comes to apps where the UI is secondary (content etc)… the diffraction in the UI rather than a blur makes the whole UI able to be ignored much easier, and IMO it’s still about as legible in most real scenarios

    I like the way it flwobs her face, but where there aren’t distinct background shapes, it’s like a glass of water on a plain background, just kind of a dull nothing.

    The more I look at it, it’s making me feel a bit queasy actually

    Did the same thing the other day, there’s like some minor icon redesigns? Otherwise this mostly seems like people made up stuff.
