xTanium Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Did Mac OS X (10.0) Public Beta cost anything or was it free because I need a copy for experimental purposes and don't know if it would be considered piracy if anyone knew where to download an ISO or something like that of it. If anyone knows anything, thanks. -X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I think you had to pay 10 dollars to have it shipped to you, otherwise it was free...iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMayhem Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 It would be fun to try compared to panther now, apple sure improved it. I would probably till take the beta over windows though, even though it was insanely slow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 The beta was pretty bad. I have it on my harddrive here. Thought it would be fun to use it, but there's no way. Believe it or not, I'd take windows over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoMayhem Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 does anyone have it? No, but you could try some p2p apps or something. I am sure it is out there somewhere ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbalsh Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Yuck I don't know why you'd want to run it! it's horrible! And remember it will only install on Hardware of the time think CRT iMacs / PowerMac G4's (the first lot) and PowerBook G3's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Look in the Mac section of TorrentsKickAss (if the page is up.. earlier today it was having trouble). I've seen a BitTorrent link for it there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john smith 1924 Veteran Posted February 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 16, 2004 Its unlikely that apple would want you to obtain this of IRC / Kazaa etc. I don't believe that they would release it for free either when they now have the existing full version out. neowin doesnt host discussion on warez.

Southern Patriot Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 ~~NeYo~~ has a G4 cube which was the current hardware when the Public Beta of OS X was shipped, so I'm quite sure it would install on there. I seem to recall the first time I ever saw OS X was on a Cube at the local CompUSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
