Yes, exactly that.
Apple had a whole OS ecosystem before Mac OS X: its own OS, binary
format, disk metadata system, printing system, network protocol,
network filesystem, object model, web browser, search subsystem and
front-end, sound, image and video formats, etc. etc.
OS X brought over some elements and some bits stuck around for a while
- Classic mode, for instance.
Almost all of it is gone now.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's just remarkable how radical the
transition has been. Many have said it before me, but it's as if NeXT
took over Apple rather than the other way round.
Ahh ok, I see what you mean. And yes I have to agree!

Indeed about the only Apple technologies that persist
in Mac OS X are
QuickTime and HFS+. I think it's fair to say /everything/ else is gone
now; a few backwards-compatibility traces remain.
Now I have to admit that it's been a long time since I've slept, but
this is confusing to me. There's TONS of Apple code in OS X and iOS
that could arguably be termed "Apple technologies". What, exactly, are
you talking about here? Do you mean "old" "Apple technologies",
like
pre-OS X stuff?
