@snipe2531 Often, UNIX is much more resource-efficient then Windows is, and is much faster. Ever wonder why large corporations use UNIX for the operating system on their servers? It's not just for security... In addition, Mac OS X is UNIX based, and you'll find that operating system on some of the highest-end computers available. Heck, I even ran OS 10.5 on a 667mhz Powerbook with 512mb of RAM and it ran great.
I am reading Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve and I am on the NeXT chapter. That's why I found this video. It's truly mesmerizing to supplement the reading with these videos.
I love it when he's talking about DOS and says, "slash f, it's a wonderful interface..." I laughed so hard.It's such a reflection of the current state of affairs with Microsoft and IBM. Hilarious.

Genius :-) Then watch him demo some 3D graphic processing on NeXTSTEP. Awesome.

the reason android is succeeding now is they are willing to share , ( there are heaps of vendors which make phones and tablets using Android OS) how many are using IOS , except , Apple . This is one company which will never learn from history , they are forever condemned to come out with great products only to be beaten those how are willing to share.
I love the little snipes at apple, 'putting Cynthia from marketing on the shelf', 'it takes a while because the mac's a little slow to give it up'. Haha.
Why NextStep failed , was not because of technology ( it was much superior ) to OS Apple or Win95, It failed because Steve Jobs decided to keep it all to him self , he was not one for sharing
It's kind of tragic that most computer users had to put up with garbage like Windows 95 and 98 for most of the '90s when amazing operating systems like this existed.
@gdaaps Back then business people scoffed at the Macintosh and at other graphic OS (Amiga, Atari ST). It was not seen as businesslike to use a GIMP operating system. The early editions of Windows were seen as gimmicks, usable for some business tasks but not for daily usage. Of course that was until Microsoft came along and introduced the "revolutionary" Windows 95. :P
@dalbolega Back in 2006 you could apply for a Director account which enabled you to upload longer clips. I still have a seperate grandfathered Director account but now longtime users get the same upload facilities so it's not so unique anymore.
Steve is outlining multitasking on NeXTSTEP over 20 years ago but it still doesn't work that great on iOS. Interesting! It seems to me Apple have just been working on the UI for the past 20 years instead of real innovation in computing. Other companies too... People were watching pictures while listening to music 20 years ago on their computers. We've all been played while rushing to buy the latest iPhone and Mac every year...
@busloo7 YEah. If anything he was a little conservative. Five years later we were dealing with bluescreens from Windows 95 or dealing with the little "bombs" in System 7.5. I used to use a NeXTStep PC at my university and it was just rock solid... It didn't run very much software but the titles available were first class. Mathematica was amazing.
Notice that this video was uploaded in early 2006 (YouTube was very young by this time and most users were not able to upload longer videos than 9, maybe 10 Minutes) nevertheless, the video runs for over a half hour (i.e. 35 minutes)!
I remember watching this around mid 2007 for the first time and it was pretty cool back then.. Even if the original was produced in 1991, still amazing!
And this was only version 3 (it went to 4.3)! How little desktop OSs and apps have improved since 1991! This UI functionally is as good as anyhing available today. Positioning images just so in MS Word can be painful. Is there an SQL database app toolkit with Mac OS X? Beyond eye candy, are the UIs of Mac OS X Lion or Word so *obviously* 20 years ahead of what's here? In a human generation we can't do better than the Amiga dock? Sad, since the dock is (still) not the best UI aspect of Mac OS X.
@doritostheking Well, Apple may have included a third party version of the dock with Mac OS X that was marginally better, or at least better-looking, than the NeXTSTEP dock (which looks more like the horrific Ubuntu Unity dock than today's Mac OS X dock), but the *concept* of the dock AFAIK was first popularized by the Amiga (if "popularized" can even be said about the Amiga thanks to tragically terrible marketing).
@doritostheking I stand corrected, but you're missing the point I was making. Who cares which OS had the dock first before 1991 besides knowing whom to curse anyway (my apologies to Commodore)? My point is that after 20 years, we don't have any desktop OS which is fundamentally better than NeXTSTEP was, which I found both interesting and disappointing. The dock was just an example of something that has not progressed.
@justincgs 'Sup Thierry, you not taking your meds again? Docks were first featured in Acorn Arthur OS and NeXTSTEP, as were context menus. In fact a couple of the more well known Amiga docks specifically mention NeXTSTEP as their muse.
I worked with NeXTStep at my University in 1993 while I had Windows 3.1 at home. Oh how it sucked to work at home.
I actually reprogrammed the NeXTStep Finder on Windows with the Microsoft Compiler to have the same neat interconnected boxes. But of course the knobs on the windows scrollbars were not proportional to the amount of displayed text, wo it really did not look the same.
That's impressive! I had heard the NeXT was ahead of its time, but wow--it handled graphics, networking, and general computational loads in a way--and at speeds--similar to what we're used to today. And this was almost 20 years ago? Some of it seems unbelievably outdated today (1-2-3 for instance), but a lot of what he's showing that we take for granted now (seamless networking, universal drag-and-drop, etc.) was almost unheard-of at the time.
First, Steve created a computer better than IBM at Apple. Then, Apple fired him. Then Steve created a computer better than Apple....Im glad all this went back to Mac OS
podrá ser viejo, pero Jobs aun logra convencerme, seria capaz de comprarme un computador con NextStep jejejeje, para nuestros días me atrevo a decir que sigue siendo un SO cautivador
It's amazing just how powerful computing really was, even back in the early 90s. OS like NeXTstep, BeOS and Amiga were all far ahead of their time, certainly compared to Mac OS and Windows. It's interesting to think how even Mac OS X Lion lacks some features that NeXTstep had...
"Out of these thirteen hundred articles, how many of them have to do with bush?" Well, his interest there explains why he had a kid (as shown at the beginning of the video). lol
I was fortunate to be able to use the Next for several years at WilTel's ATG. For me, it is STILL my favorite OS of all of the OS's that I have ever used.
It is a testament to genius and astonishing levels. Sad, that Job's didn't have Bill Gates' ability to get NextSTEP onto the same number of machines that Microsoft did.
This is the most striking example of the horrible products (Microslop) beating out the vastly superior product. In other words the best does not always come out on top!
Steve Jobs is bad-ass! Look how familiar he was with using the early version of Interface Builder. Building a database program, etc. How many CEO's nowadays can do that with their product? Man--it's gonna be sad if he passes away in the next few weeks.
He was even calling software "apps" since way back then. Now all of a sudden since the App store, EVERYONE else calls their stuff "apps," when before just a few years ago people were used to calling them "programs"
As a developer that used and created some very sophisticated apps on the NeXT platform the complete Object Oriented System Environment was more sophisticated than the current stuff available in Windows today.
@psyjunta After he left apple he created the company NeXTSTEP, made these computers / Os until they were so good that apple bought his idea and asked for him back for 500million.
The speed of this tasks blew my mind. Running all this on 14MHz. Just think about that: genius software programmers like him being stranded on a deserted island with nothing but a Computer with a Core i7 and a bunch of developer tools. They would have no pressure from shareholders and stuff and could just work and use the computer's full potential. The OS they would come up with would be ten years ahead from the "normal world".
@uhohoverflow It seems that you never worked on an AMIGA 2000 or later. With a 7MHz 68000 cpu, 2MB of RAM and a 40MB hard drive it was no problem to do real preemptive multi tasking. That days I ran a BBS with two lines in the background without even noticing it. The AMIGA system developers were programming gods. With every update the OS used less RAM and processor power. The shared library system, file system, assigning of device paths and so much more was way ahead of its time.
@TommyBNSF Of course, he was competing with them. Also, he had a far better operating system that was much better than what was available than what Macs or PC's were running at the time. What you see there is what he brought with him when he came back to Apple. MacOS was a piece of shit so one of the first orders of business was to get rid of that and replace it with this. Smart move on his part.
NextStep did make the database connectivity very easy.
Can we have this type of easy access and implementation of database in Macs or PC these days? the answer to that is a big "NO".
All developers here know what i mean. It takes tons of code to write a database connected application (with those images as well) in both platforms Macs or PC, using database application like Oracle. Look what NextStep did in early 90's. Steve Jobs can you prefer functionality and neat GUI over eye candy again?
That's computing *power*, some 13 years ahead of everybody else. Thank God Apple picked NeXT Computer and not Be, Inc, though BeS was pretty cool too, and years and years ahead of anything Microsoft, and by all means Apple, had at that time.
Actually, look at me 20 years ago and see the difference between now and then... I think it's the same difference between Steve Jobs 20 years ago and now!!... lol
"You can drop any text you've every written into it... your policy manuals or your LOVE LETTERS!!!!????" <--- That was hilarious saying it with a straight face.
We had this at University of Fairbanks Alaska, back in early 90's. blew my mind away, it was so far advanced for its day. From what Ive read, Jobs after going back to Apple used this system as the basis for thier modern OS's. Also it is the basis for Windows NT. Pretty wild that this is little known but we all are using a OS that has roots in NeXT.
@MrGizmo757 It's not that simple, NextSTEP was not a based on BSD. The kernel however had/has some BSD roots. The O/S was written from scratch by NeXt.
There are many myths about Mac OS, but the BSD origin is the most common. It is also not true.
You should look at the "Inside the Mac OS X Kernel" video from Chaos Computer Club. It's very complicated.
This is simply not true. NeXTSTEP was based on MACH, written down the street form me at CMU. MACH itself was a microkernal OS based on BSD architecture.
While NeXTSTEP was developed in-house, it was done so by building on MACH, not by starting from scratch.
@ManifoldSky I don't actually disagree with you, I wanted to make it clear(er) that Mac OS X was not just built upon a product from NeXT that was simply a copy of BSD.
The BSD roots of the MACH-kernel are well known, but it's not exactly identical or a copy [certainly not in OS X]. Many people believe the BSD-part means NeXT/Mac OS are simply copies of another O/S.
I didn't mean to imply that NeXT did it all from scratch, but it didn't copy FreeBSD, it built upon MACH, which became OS X.
@MatchstalkMan Thankfully all this networking power was brought to OS X. It's simple as hell getting two Macs talking, even Windows, although not quite as straight forward thanks to their insistence
did they say... app?

I just realised how crap Microsoft Word is.
Even the 2010 version is tragic when it comes to text wrapping on pictures, yet WordPerfect all the way back in 1992 could do it seemlessly.

its interesting to see how even in 1992 that OS is still more advanced than todays MS Windows
I mean to treat controls as Objects and directly link them so easy...
heck the rotating 3D image and direct alpha blending
shit even XP doesn't have that in their graphical programs provided
and seeing how Breadcrumbs were used so early, and stiffed in Longhorn/Vista as some "innovation"
its kinda sad how much time it takes to pass for some things to actualy come to life

I was fortunate to be able to use the Next for several years at WilTel's ATG. For me, it is STILL my favorite OS of all of the OS's that I have ever used.
It is a testament to genius and astonishing levels. Sad, that Job's didn't have Bill Gates' ability to get NextSTEP onto the same number of machines that Microsoft did.
This is the most striking example of the horrible products (Microslop) beating out the vastly superior product. In other words the best does not always come out on top!

The speed of this tasks blew my mind. Running all this on 14MHz. Just think about that: genius software programmers like him being stranded on a deserted island with nothing but a Computer with a Core i7 and a bunch of developer tools. They would have no pressure from shareholders and stuff and could just work and use the computer's full potential. The OS they would come up with would be ten years ahead from the "normal world".

@uhohoverflow It seems that you never worked on an AMIGA 2000 or later. With a 7MHz 68000 cpu, 2MB of RAM and a 40MB hard drive it was no problem to do real preemptive multi tasking. That days I ran a BBS with two lines in the background without even noticing it. The AMIGA system developers were programming gods. With every update the OS used less RAM and processor power. The shared library system, file system, assigning of device paths and so much more was way ahead of its time.

TommyBNSF 1 year ago 55
@TommyBNSF Of course, he was competing with them. Also, he had a far better operating system that was much better than what was available than what Macs or PC's were running at the time. What you see there is what he brought with him when he came back to Apple. MacOS was a piece of shit so one of the first orders of business was to get rid of that and replace it with this. Smart move on his part.

NextStep did make the database connectivity very easy.
Can we have this type of easy access and implementation of database in Macs or PC these days? the answer to that is a big "NO".
All developers here know what i mean. It takes tons of code to write a database connected application (with those images as well) in both platforms Macs or PC, using database application like Oracle. Look what NextStep did in early 90's. Steve Jobs can you prefer functionality and neat GUI over eye candy again?

We had this at University of Fairbanks Alaska, back in early 90's. blew my mind away, it was so far advanced for its day. From what Ive read, Jobs after going back to Apple used this system as the basis for thier modern OS's. Also it is the basis for Windows NT. Pretty wild that this is little known but we all are using a OS that has roots in NeXT.
WickedCrazzzeee 1 year ago
OS X was based off this. it was almost based off of sun solaris but in the end they based it off of next which was it self based off of bsd.
MrGizmo757 1 year ago
@MrGizmo757 It's not that simple, NextSTEP was not a based on BSD. The kernel however had/has some BSD roots. The O/S was written from scratch by NeXt.
There are many myths about Mac OS, but the BSD origin is the most common. It is also not true.
You should look at the "Inside the Mac OS X Kernel" video from Chaos Computer Club. It's very complicated.
abkalmo 1 year ago
@abkalmo
This is simply not true. NeXTSTEP was based on MACH, written down the street form me at CMU. MACH itself was a microkernal OS based on BSD architecture.
While NeXTSTEP was developed in-house, it was done so by building on MACH, not by starting from scratch.
ManifoldSky 1 year ago
@ManifoldSky I don't actually disagree with you, I wanted to make it clear(er) that Mac OS X was not just built upon a product from NeXT that was simply a copy of BSD.
The BSD roots of the MACH-kernel are well known, but it's not exactly identical or a copy [certainly not in OS X]. Many people believe the BSD-part means NeXT/Mac OS are simply copies of another O/S.
I didn't mean to imply that NeXT did it all from scratch, but it didn't copy FreeBSD, it built upon MACH, which became OS X.

To be completely honest, NeXTSTEP is superior to many current OSes. All that networking stuff built in and just ... working.
I try to link to another computer over the network and despite being an administrator, it's all password this and domain that. It's a nightmare.
And for a 25MHz '030 to run that quickly... Wow! I used 33MHz '040 Apples that were not as nippy.
From what I have seen of the Xerox ALTO, the NeXT Station grew and surpassed that technology by many magnitudes.
Fantastic.

@MatchstalkMan Thankfully all this networking power was brought to OS X. It's simple as hell getting two Macs talking, even Windows, although not quite as straight forward thanks to their insistence
