with the richness and usability of the Mac interface, bringing UNIX technology and
64-bit power to the mass market. Apple has made open source and standards a key
part of its strategy to deliver an industrial-strength operating system that is both
innovative and easy to use.
There are over 15 million Mac OS X users—scientists, animators, developers, system
administrators, and more—making Mac OS X the most widely used UNIX-based
desktop operating system. In addition, Mac OS X is the only UNIX-based environment
that natively runs Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, and thousands of other consumer
applications—all side by side with traditional command-line, X11, and Java applications.
Mac OS X is also the foundation for Mac OS X Server, which makes open source software
easy to administer. Tight integration with Apple hardware, from the sleek PowerBook
G4 to the award-winning Xserve G5, is making Mac OS X the platform of choice for an
emerging generation of UNIX users.
