Not Apple fans though. They can't wait to use their new Vista!

    I thought it couldn’t get better when System 7 had color support. It was such a revolution. Then Aqua came along and everything changed. Liquid Glass looks pretty nice to me but I’m mostly just glad we’re getting dimension back. Material flat UI is a stain on the world.

    I think there was some sort of color support prior to System 7.

    System 6 includes QuickerGraf (originally QuickerDraw), system software used to accelerate the drawing of color images on the Macintosh II.

    Hmm. Apparently System 4 had color support, which is earlier than I expected.

    ...it wasn't until two years later in 1987 that Apple introduced color with the release of the System 4 & the Macintosh II.

    Here's a photo of a IIcx with a color display:

    Get the fuck outta here with that! Any red blooded microphile knows XP was PEAK windows experience. The lower opacity of windows in Vista was a bright spot in an otherwise disgusting experience.
