Copland (operating system)

Copland Project

After <System 7.5>, Apple Computer figured out that it needed a whole new OS for itself in order to continue its struggle against Microsoft. Apple had encountered many problems during this stage.

During this period, Apple released respectively a few different plans for users to choose, i.e. Pink Project, Copland Project. These were all intended to construct a brand new OS, using virtual ways to supply old software combatibility and new object-oriented construction environment. Apple had once exhibited out the new Copland system, but due to slow building progress, plus a lot of technical problems had to be solved, Apple discovered that if it don't try to find external help, it cannot develope an OS that could strike back Microsoft in a short period, and this linked to the appearance of that <BeOS> would be bought by Apple.
