  • moosepile, on 10/10/2007, -5/+33Nice collection, but I'm going to guess that Apple will change the music for the 10.5 release.
  • Luigi239, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25Things like this are what separates Apple from all the other computer manufacturers...the small attention to detail. When you install OS X or get a new computer, this is the first thing you see. It really makes you feel like you bought something high end, unlike a generic setup assistant, and welcome screen. Same with the packaging. With Apple, you get a nice, high end box, that most people will probably want to keep, as opposed to the crappy brown cardboard one from dell with logos all over it.
  • astrosmash, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Missed the coolest one: the OS X 10.0/10.1/10.2 intro, "Aqua".
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKYnJeZwz3g

    So, to recap the themes:
    10.0: Aqua
    10.3: Speed
    10.4: Spotlight
    10.5: Time Machine
    10.6: ???
  • HunterTV, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16It's for people in other countries we haven't liberated yet.
  • chattin, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16I still prefer the "Buddy Holly" Weezer video from Win95
  • rebotfc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Not hard considering Tiger is already better than Vista.
  • Dylson, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8It's going to be better than Vista.
  • Raian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That was probably the best one-- the only problem is the youtube video has such a crappy frame-rate.
  • meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Jobs said OS X was good for at least fifteen years so we're in for a wait.
  • PRocker267, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5whats up with the new youtube player? http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/565/picture1ki4.jpg
  • neko, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5HELP! THE TEXT IS ATTACKING!
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Its marketing gimmick. Apple prefers to keep the OS X brand name because its sounds cool.
  • g2g079, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4It wasn't exactly the intro movie. It was an extra on the disc. You had to do a little bit of searching for it. There was some other music video on there to. I thought it was all pretty damn cool for the time. That Weezer video was the first music video I ever copied, now I have 1,100+.
  • Bricks, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5My favorite is the one where Woz chases down the dancing popcorn / soda in the lobby.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Title: Ocean Air
    Artist: dZihan & Kamien
  • colincornaby, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Why do people assume this will be the final movie? It's a beta operating system. Apple is known to change the intro movie several times before final release...
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Yeah what a ***** prick, lets hope the writer gets all 3
  • astrosmash, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4One more. The demo video that comes with Mac OS 8:

  • specialK16, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5"The new OS is sure to cure cancer, AIDS, and IBS, so you might as well go buy an iMac right now"

    ...

  • mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Keep in mind, this is still version 10 of the operating system. I would expect a complete marketing rehaul with version 11.
  • kendallwi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2NeXT/OPENSTEP didn't have movie intros but they were definitely where the Welcome idea began.

  • TSSaloic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Possibly Supported Languages.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1They're all beautiful.
  • whistlerpro, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Mac OS X is like the second generation of Mac OS, it's number isn't as temporary as OS 8 or 9.
  • DaffyDuck, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'm coming back here to say "I told you so" when Leopard has the same music.
  • avatarpalin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Oh yeah I remember that.. Thinking that Microsoft were either really cool or someone had snuck it in at the last moment...I also thought... Why Weezer... Out of all bands... why them? I just can't see Bill going to one of their Giggs.
  • MacMixMaster, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Sweet! Now go upload that torrent and send me the link. Thanks.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yep, I was lost for what version that intro was for,but noticed it was missing. You should email that dude if you haven't.

    Ahh, my first Dual G4 533, with 1.5 of RAM. MAN that machine was ***** when I booted that video!

    /reminisce

  • jtylko, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1ahh what is the song from the panther one that didnt make it?

  • 2shae, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I've noticed it as well but I think it's only visible with the newest uploaded videos.
  • ThreeDee912, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3I still have an ancient System 7 welcome movie somewhere...
  • leontes, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3http://www.duggmirror.com
  • naj0rt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Takes me back to the days when I was a junior apple technician. I was forced to watch it every single time I did a ram installation and now it just sends a shiver down my spine. Oh well.
  • ajblue98, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2It's "Welcome" in a whole slew of other languages. French, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish, (none of those in order necessarily), and some others.
  • digger_twit, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3I like the Panther one the best.
  • longofest, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3My personal favorite was the 10.0 / 10.1 version with Sofa Surfers
  • meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Double? Really?
  • zackkitzmiller, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4OS 9 was the best one. Short and Sweet.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4Cure IBS? No more beer *****? yay!
  • gasin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0They are all soooooo hot. I think I am gonna wack off...
  • Jambi, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2They put that video as the intro to Windows 95? Really? This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiIC5qcXeNU
  • jasoncrowther, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Cures IBS, eh? geez, I'll be upgrading on release day!
  • Dylson, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3Its good music, why change it?
  • Setter, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0VARIOUS FORMS OF INFERIOR SPEECH
  • seraph582, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0This is not cool - in fact, this is a pretty lame article. Nobody wants to see this *****.
  • xeenat, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1The best one.
  • DaffyDuck, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3I doubt it. I think they will keep that music for a while.
  • Elranzer, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1OS X. The X stands for EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEME!!!!!111!!!!one!!
  • Setter, on 10/28/2007, -3/+0HAVE YOU MADE IT TO GENIUS YET?
  • j1a1g1, on 10/10/2007, -9/+4I wonder how they chose which languages to use?
