mac os x 10.0 was a radical departure from the classic mac os and was apple’s long-awaited answer for a next generation macintosh operating system. it introduced a brand new code base completely separate from mac os 9's, as well as all previous apple operating systems. mac os x introduced the new darwin unix-like core and a completely new system of memory management. cheetah proved to be a rocky start to the mac os x line, plagued with missing features and performance issues, although it was praised for still being a good start to an operating system still in its infancy, in terms of completeness and overall operating system stability. unlike releases of mac os x 10.2 to 10.8, the cat-themed code name was not used in marketing the new operating system.
