===Mac OS X 10.0 "Cheetah"=== On March 24, 2001, Apple released [[Mac OS X 10.0]] (internally codenamed [[Cheetah]]).<ref>Although the version is now called Cheetah by users, rare evidences can be found to prove that it was called so internally. For instance, a Q&A was created in 2005 which mentions it {{cite web | title=Technical Q&A | url=https://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2004/qa1378.html | publisher=[[Apple Inc.|Apple]] | access-date=December 20, 2006 | date=October 4, 2005 | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080518083217/http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2004/qa1378.html | archive-date=May 18, 2008 }}</ref> The initial version was slow, incomplete, and had very few applications available at the time of its launch, mostly from independent developers. Critics suggested that the operating system was not ready for mainstream adoption, but they recognized the importance of its initial launch as a base to improve upon. Simply releasing Mac OS X was received by the Macintosh community as a great accomplishment, for attempts to completely overhaul the Mac OS had been underway since 1996, and delayed by countless setbacks. Following some bug fixes, [[kernel panic]]s became much less frequent.
