Welcome to The MacNN Review's in depth look at MacOS 8.5. Before we get started, there are a couple things that I'd like to point out. First, because the version of Mac OS 8.5 that is featured on all these pages is not the final version, information and features may change between now and the time Mac OS 8.5 ships. Secondly, because this is not the final version we will refrain of posting performance results in the form of numbers and percentages.

Navigating through this tour has been done so as to offer the best user experience. You can click on icons and gain information, click on the tabs in windows to bring that tab forward, etc. We have also placed text links at the bottom of the page if you'd prefer to navigate that way. Finally, if you ever get "lost" while navigating, simply click the "8 is great, but 8.5 is better" slogan at the bottom of each to return to the main page.
