I reviewed this page and [[Mac OS]] (yes, I wrote that one), and I think that perhaps the content here should be merged into the other one, with my info on older versions given in a "pre-X" section or something, and then changing this one to a redirect (and changing the current redirects appropriately). If that sounds good, I'm willing to do it. -- [[User:Eriksiers|Eriksiers]] 21:12, 27 October 2009 (UTC) |

The encyclopedia entry should be under the full product name, not the casual abbreviation. --TBH 12:44, 10 January 2008 (MST)
- I think either way works. The company even says "mac" in their own commercials and on their boxes. --Mwn3d 12:53, 10 January 2008 (MST)
- Since languages support environments rather than computers or companies, perhaps this link should be named Mac OS X instead. After all, there is no "Apple Computer". The corporation runs no code, and Apple made many incompatible computers (Apple ][, Mac OS Classic, Newton, Mac OS X). --IanOsgood 10:13, 11 January 2008 (MST)
- I agree that OS is a better focus than company name. The page should be named Macintosh OS X. --10:27, 11 January 2008 (MST)
- Disagree on name. Everyone in the industry calls it "Mac OS X", including Apple. All references I could find here on Rosetta Code also use the abbreviation. --IanOsgood 11:12, 11 January 2008 (MST)
- OK! I give up. :) --TBH
