Today in Apple history: Steve Jobs lays out a new strategy for Mac OS at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in 1998.
Jobs announces the development of a major new operating system, OS X, following the release of Mac OS 8.5 and the first customer version of Rhapsody.
Apple's acquisition of NeXT, led by Jobs, played a crucial role in the development of the new Mac OS, merging technologies from NeXT and Apple.
The introduction of Mac OS X in 2001 marked a significant milestone in Apple's history, combining the technologies of NeXT and Apple into a unified operating system.
