The initial revision of this software is an extremely simple, single tasking system which delegates most tasks to an emulator running the Motorola 68K version of the operating system. The second major revision supports Computer multitasking multitasking , multiprocessing , and message passing , and would be more properly called a microkernel . Unlike the 68K derived Mac OS kernel running within it, the PowerPC kernel exists in a protected memory space and executes device driver s in user mode . The nanokernel is completely different from the Copland OS microkernel, although they were created in succession with similar goals. System 7.1.2 Mac OS 8.5.1 The original nanokernel , and the tightly integrated Mac 68K emulator , were written by emulator emulation consultant Gary Davidian. Its main purpose was to allow the existing Motorola 68K version of the operating system to run on new hardware. As such, the normal state of the system was to be running 68K code. The operating system did little until activated by an interrupt , which would be quickly mapped to its 68K equivalent within the virtual ... card drivers in anticipation of Copland OS , which supported memory protection .

    Refimprove date December 2009 Commented out Image Finder Labels preferences.png right thumb Labels preferences in the Macintosh Finder Finder Labels in Mac OS are a type of seven distinct, colored parameters of metadata that can be attributed to files, folders and disks in the operating system. The labels were introduced in System 7 and were kept until the release of Mac OS 9 . Mac OS X versions 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 lacked the attribute, which was reintroduced in Mac OS X version 10.3, though not without criticism. ref http arstechnica.com apple reviews 2003 11 macosx 10 3.ars 9 finder labels Labels in OS X 10.3, Review by John Siracusa ref The labels in Mac OS X let the user give colored backgrounds to System items in three different types of views, through the action menu applicable to the selected icon. In the older pre Mac OS X versions the choice of a color would cause the icon to completely wash itself out in that color, losing some distinct traits in the process. The new label feature here applies color only to the background of file names. When a labeled item is selected in Mac OS X column view, a colored dot after the name indicates the label. There is a choice of seven colors, which cannot easily be exchanged for other colors. The names of the colors however can be changed at will, to represent categories assigned to the label colors both label colors and names can be customized in pre OS X systems, however Mac OS 8 and 9 provided this functionality through the Labels tab in the Finder Preferences dialog, while System 7 provided a separate Labels control panel . Labels in OS 9 and earlier were specific to an individual install Booting into another install, be it on another mac or different disk would show different colors and names unless set identically.
