Mac OS X
Mac OS X is a line of partially
proprietary, graphical operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by
Apple Inc., the latest of which is pre-loaded on all currently shipping
Macintosh computers. Mac OS X is the successor to the original
Mac OS, which had been Apple's primary operating system since 1984. Unlike its predecessor, Mac OS X is a
UNIX operating system built on technology that had been developed at
NeXT through the second half of the 1980s and up until Apple purchased the company in early 1997.
The operating system was first released in 1999 as
Mac OS X Server 1.0, with a desktop-oriented version (
Mac OS X v10.0) following in March 2001. Since then, six more distinct "client" and "server" editions of Mac OS X have been released, the most recent being
Mac OS X v10.6, which was first made available on August 28, 2009. Releases of Mac OS X are named after
big cats; the current version of Mac OS X is nicknamed "Snow Leopard".
