Back in 1991, there was an uproar, an uproar I tells you, because System 7 required nearly a megabyte of memory instead of the 600K System 6 could run with. Sure, most users barely had more than a megabyte of memory, but it paints a pattern for sure.


Yes, but System 7 wasn't installed on your computer overnight without you realising it.


Apple allows you to completely stop automatic updates. They're on by default, and they're not going to force you to restart. You can always postpone.


At my office it did. We used system when we networked the office. I kinda think it didn’t really come out until 92 but release windows lasted years.
