The Xerox Alto is a computer system developed at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) in the 1970s. It is considered one of the first workstations or personal computers , and its development pioneered many aspects of modern computing.
Xerox was founded in 1906 in Rochester, New York, as the Haloid Photographic Company. [12] It manufactured photographic paper and equipment. In 1938, Chester Carlson, a physicist working independently, invented a process for printing images using an electrically charged photoconductor-coated metal plate [13] and dry powder "toner".
Xerox’s research centers originally developed Xerox DocuShare as an internal application (named AmberWeb). [1]Since its initial launch, DocuShare has added capabilities in workflow/business process management, [2] production imaging, records and retention management, social collaboration, and enterprise scalability.

An exception to this was the Developer Transition Kit, which always reported the system version as "11.0". [9] macOS Big Sur started reporting the system version as "11.0" on all Macs as of the third beta release. To maintain backwards compatibility, macOS Big Sur identified itself as 10.16 to legacy software and in the browser user agent. [10]

XQuartz is an open-source version of the X.Org X server, a display server for the X Window System (sometimes shortened to X11 or X) that runs on macOS. [1] In 2012, it formally replaced Apple's internal X11 app for OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8).
The release of macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 (and iOS 11.4) introduced support for Messages in iCloud. [31] This feature allows messages to sync across all devices using the same iCloud account. When messages are deleted they are deleted on each device as well, and messages stored in the cloud do not take up local storage on the device anymore. [ 32 ]
The Xerox Operating System (XOS) was an operating system for the XDS Sigma series of computers "optimized for direct replacement of IBM DOS/360 installations" and to provide real-time and timesharing support. [1] The system was developed, beginning in 1969, for Xerox by the French firm CII (now Bull). [2]
