There's been a few minor but noticeable tweaks since 2000, esp with regards to the tabs and the color of the Apple logo.

edit: as you can judge by Tetenal's links

I confess I've always been a bit confused as to why they've never had a big Mac tab at the top that would actually let you know where to go to find out information on all their products not just the new ones. I mean yes they have the hardware button but it's a lot smaller and insignificant looking.

I think the Store tab serves that purpose.

I think Apple very gradually updates everything.
Like moving to Quicktime animations for Products.

The OS X part was updated a few months ago. My uncle worked on the template for the original Aqua site ( it was actually a side project during OS X developement).

Did anything come out of this??

Man, I remember when Apple used to look like this:



The basic layout has remained relatively unchanged since 1998 though:

Sadly enough... I remember when they only had their logo, name and address for a website (early 1994 I believe)
