So we were left hungering for a new Mac OS with all the features Copland had promised, and maybe even some features we had not yet thought of. Enter Mac OS 8. About the only negative thing I can say about Mac OS 8 is the lack of 68000-68030 processor support. You must have a 68040 or PowerPC processor to run Mac OS 8. Installation was pretty straightforward, and simplified with the new installer.
Finder is a sight for sore eyes, and a lot faster than all previous versions.
Java is now built into Mac OS 8 with the inclusion of Mac OS Runtime for Java 1.0.1. This means you can run Java programs just as you do Mac OS programs. Another new and cool feature is Apple's color pickers. This last feature takes a little getting used to, but it is a blessing. Being a professional Web designer, I saved my favorite for last. . .
