Nextstep was the original object-oriented, multitasking operating system that NeXT Computer developed to run on its range of proprietary computers, such as the NeXTcube. Nextstep 1.0 was released on September 18, 1989, after several previews starting in 1986.[citation needed] The last version, 3.3, was released in early 1995, by which time it ran not only on Motorola 68000 family processors, but also IBM PC compatible x86, Sun SPARC, and HP PA-RISC. Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X is a direct descendant of Nextstep.

Most of you will know, there is a ready made image for VMWare too:

Runs fine with VMWare Fusion - for those too lazy to install.

Wow, I can't believe I finally got it to work! I managed to get it to work in Virtual PC 4.0.2. It won't work in 4.0 without the update. Now, if I can only squeeze 48 hours of NEXTSTEP playtime in the next hour, I'll be happy. Wink

It works in VMware Fusion fine with a lot of tinkering and such. Search Google and there's a guide on it.

Interesting wording on the .torrent link. I'd seriously consider using another tracker now anyway, with all the buyout nonsense.
