(Darwin).<BR/><BR/>It is certified as UNIX.<BR/>The kernel part of the OS is BSD. But Apple developed its own frameworks like cocoa (aqua, graphite(usually named for themes/colors ).....) which are proprietary. This makes the difference.<BR/><BR/>What makes OS X the best Desktop OS in the world is its ease of use and the elegance that comes along.<BR/><BR/>Mac is a beautiful beast. You can do everything on a mac that you CAN do on a *nix system. But you DON'T NEED TO. You don't need to open terminal and type/edit something to get dual display work on a mac.<BR/>A mac even comes with Apache HTTP server preinstalled (why would one use it on a laptop at all!!!).<BR/><BR/>Coming to BSD/Linux, Only a few look at the kernel part. Many look at the GNU/OSS software bundled with them (unless he kernel is unstable). So, it matters same if you are using things other than Mac or windows. Open source rocks.<BR/><BR/>Once any user gets used to installing from repos/ from package mangers, the will start to hate installing by double-clickingHDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950914063974014296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869224280787576442.post-5428000461452972532008-10-07T19:34:00.000+05:302008-10-07T19:34:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.HDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950914063974014296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869224280787576442.post-56253335201765412882008-09-07T00:21:00.000+05:302008-09-07T00:21:00.000+05:30The information u provided here i never heard off ...The information u provided here i never heard off great information hope u will maintain the same .. <BR/><BR/>Thanks!Vivekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650068349441977013noreply@blogger.com
