Mac OS X is Apple's new operating system for Macintosh computers. With dozens of new features and a redesigned, user-friendly interface, OS X unleashes the full potential of your Macintosh. The new Aqua user interface is simple and elegant, making computing even easier for new users. Aqua simplifies an array of common computing tasks with new time- and work-saving organizational features such as the Dock and a redesigned Finder.

The heart of Mac OS X is Darwin, the Linux-like core operating system of OSX. It's an industrial-strength modern operating system engineered for rock-solid stability. Darwin offers greatly improved performance through such advanced features as protected memory, preemptive multitasking, advanced virtual memory, symmetric multiprocessing, modern networking, and Unix application support.
