Mac OS X Panther
Summary
Mac OS X Panther (version 10.3) is the fourth major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system. It followed Mac OS X Jaguar and preceded Mac OS X Tiger. It was released on October 24, 2003, with the retail price of US199 for a five user, family license.
The main features of Panther included a refined Aqua theme, Exposé, Fast user switching, and a new Finder. Panther also included Safari as its default browser, as a change from Internet Explorer in Jaguar.
Panther's system requirements are:
PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor (at least 233 MHz)
Built-in USB
At least 128 MB of RAM (256 MB recommended, minimum of 96 MB supported unofficially)
At least 1.5 GB of available hard disk space
CD drive
Internet access requires a compatible service provider; iDisk requires a .Mac account
Video conferencing requires:
333 MHz or faster PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
Broadband internet access (100 kbit/s or faster)
Compatible FireWire DV camera or web camera
Because a New World ROM was required for Mac OS X Panther, certain older computers (such as beige Power Mac G3s and 'Wall Street' PowerBook G3s) were unable to run Panther by default. Third-party software (such as XPostFacto) can, however, override checks made during the install process; otherwise, installation or upgrades from Jaguar fails on these older machines.
Panther still fully supported the Classic environment for running older Mac OS 9 applications, but made Classic application windows double-buffered, interfering with some applications written to draw directly to screen.
Apple advertised that Mac OS X Panther had over 150 new features, including:
Finder: Updated with a brushed-metal interface, a new live search engine, customizable Sidebar, secure deletion, colored labels (resurrected from classic Mac OS) in the filesystem and support built in. The Finder icon was also changed.
Fast user switching: Allows a user to remain logged in while another user logs in, and quickly switch among several sessions.
