Read up on Andy Hertzfeld's work on early MacOS on http://www.folklore.org. I'm not a fan of creator codes as a means of associating a file with an application, and resource vs. data forks was an insane solution to a real problem. but that's a computer science discussion for another day. One thing that MacOS does well is manages different versions of the OS on a single disk - just create a different System folder. You can multiboot into whichever version you want. There wasn't really a need to wipe a drive clean and start over when installing a new version, which definitely benefits other contemporary operating systems - just move over the System folder and drop in a new one.
