Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar was released on 2002.08.24 and was last updated on 2003.10.03, when the 10.2.8 update was released. There were rumors that 10.2.9 would be released in mid-2009 to address several bugs and vulnerabilities that remained in version 10.2.8, but that never happened.

Jaguar was the first version of OS X to support Safari and the last the ship with Internet Explorer as its default browser. Apple’s release of it Safari web browser was Microsoft’s excuse to leave the Mac browser market.
Jaguar improved performance across the board, especially for Classic Mode, and introduced Quartz Extreme, which lets the operating system offload graphics tasks to supported video cards (ATI Radeon and Nvidia GeForce 2 AGP and later video with at least 16 MB of VRAM).
OS X 10.2 includes Inkwell, which ports the Newton handwriting recognition technology to the Mac. Inkwell requires a tablet. Bonjour is Apple’s technology that allows Macs to find each other and other Bonjour-aware devices without user configuration. It also improved support for Windows networks. Jaguar includes CUPS, which provides support for a lot more printers than earlier versions of OS X.
Jaguar lost one feature that had been with the Mac since the beginning – the Happy Mac startup icon (right) was replaced by a gray Apple logo.
Jaguar requires a PowerPC G3 or G4 CPU, 128 MB of RAM, and is incompatible with the Kanga PowerBook G3 – the only G3-based Mac never supported by any version of OS X. While 10.2 can run with 128 MB of RAM, 256 MB is a more realistic minimum for decent performance (the OS itself can use from 96 MB to 200 MB of RAM), and going to 512 MB or beyond will really unleash its potential.

Mac Os X 10.2 Download
When it comes to excellence and security, Mac OS is one of its kind. Mac OS aka Macintosh OS is one of the most stable operating systems out there. You might be interested to use one of them, here is the free link to download Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar Full version ISO.
Os X 10 2
File: mac_os_x_10.2_jaguar.iso
Size: 776 MB
Developer: Apple Inc.
Language: English
Released: August 23, 2002
Last update: October 3,2003
Mac OS X 10.2 is the third major release of the Mac OS X family. Apple started the Mac OS X series with the release of Mac OS Cheetah in 2001.
The Mac OS X 10.2 was released on August 23, 2002, in two different packages. There was a single-computer pack and a family pack. As you have guessed from the name, in a single pack you can install the operating system for only one computer. Whereas, the family pack allows the users to perform five installations in one household.
It was released with the code name “Jaguar” and it was the first Mac OS X release, who was publicly marketed and advertised using the code name.
The Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar is the successor of Mac OS 10.1 Puma and is succeeded by the Mac OS X 10.3 Panther.
Jaguar was the first Macintosh operating system who supported the Safari browser and was also the last one to be shipped with Internet Explorer as a default browser.
Many new features are added, with general speed enhancements in additions to compatibility with other versions of Unix and the lineup of both graphical and terminal applications is also available.
The last update for Mac OS Jaguar was made by Apple on October 3, 2003. They released the last version (10.2.8) for the Jaguar operating system. Another version (10.2.9) was expected to be released soon, yet Apple dropped the idea and released an entire operating system.
System Requirements
To use the Mac OS Jaguar on your computer you will need a processor of400MHz with 128 MB RAM in addition to 2 GB of free storage. Officially the operating system was only supported by the computers like PowerPC G3, G4 CPU Power PC and it came preinstalled on G5.
Features
Mac OS X Jaguar has introduced many new features, as according to some resources there are more than 150 new features added in this version. We have brought only the major changes, so you won’t get bored.
The Mac OS X Jaguar has Aqua theme which is a replacement for the older themes called Platinum.
Quartz Extreme (who is both a display server and windows manager) is added for integrating graphics completely on the video card. Only a minor number of users were involved in developing dedicated software just to render graphics. Apple also took the risk which later on becomes one of the best jobs they have done.
Adaptive spam mail filter is added to make your mails more organized and filtered while on the other hand a wide repository for contact handling is also added in the new Apple Address Book to give you more room for your contact lists.
Some interesting features were added which made users love the operating system even more. Apple has introduced Inkwell which is an application used to recognize handwriting. The same application is still available which is used in our day to day life.
AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) aka iChat is used to send instant messages to your friends. The application supported text messages with the addition of both audio and video callings.
Like all the other operating systems, Apple also has the feature where you can find the file you want in your computer. Finder aka Sherlock 3 explores numerous Web services and your drives so that you can find your searched files like movies, songs, reviews, lists, restaurants, and eBay auctions.
One of the greatest successes of Mac OS is the iApp. iApp includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and iCal. iTunes was/is a great application for digital music recording and management, iPhoto was used for image viewing and editing while iMovie works the same as Windows Movie Maker but in a more sophisticated manner. Both iDVD and iCal are smaller applications where iDVD was used for playing and burning of different media on DVDs while iCal is an application who works as a calendar.
QuickTime 6 was introduced in Mac OS X Jaguar which was a change many users were looking after. Users were having issues with the application as it was unable to support MPEG-4. But with Mac OS Jaguar QuickTime not only supported MPEG-4 video format but also instant Web streaming.
