Added a page on Mac OS X Public Beta (Build 2E14). I hope to get my copy working properly to take better screenshots sometime soon.

Somehow I didn't notice the news page was generating the title 'Betaworld - Welcome to Betaworld.forcedperfect.net'. I changed it to something a little less stupid.

Minor update: Some of you might have noticed I have watermarked the large versions of all the images.

Corrected a few typos and link problems recently. I've also completed three pages for various Leopard Pre-release builds as I have been sent some screenshots for them. They are currently password protected. They will remain passworded until the final release of Leopard.

The pages added are: Mac OS 10.5 Leopard WWDC Preview (Build 9A241), Mac OS 10.5 Leopard Pre-release (Build 9A241e), Mac OS 10.5 Leopard Pre-release (Build 9A321).

This site is made as sort of a museum of pre-release or abandoned Mac OS versions. Betaworld has been around for quite some time but was pretty basic and passworded and quite small. Although this one is small to start, there are about 10 more betas that I've got screenshots from (collected over the years from all sorts of people) and they will be added as time permits.

All of these screenshots were submitted by other people and I do not have any copies of these operating systems. Nor do I know where to get any.

We've launched with 14 beta galleries.

Note: At this time there are display issues with Internet Explorer, mostly the Windows version (what else is new), however the Mac version will display the JavaScript menus super wide and not center items properly. Both Windows and Mac versions of IE can access the site fully, it the menus just look messed up. Safari, Firefox, etc all work at this time.


Please link to pages, not directly to images. All screenshots are submitted to this site.
