Apple's OS that is much better than OS 9. Contrary to popular belief, OS X is NOT based on FreeBSD. It only borrows a couple components. It is based off Darwin OS, another Operating System by Apple. Darwin IS a flavor of UNIX, therefore Mac OS X is based on UNIX, just not based off of FreeBSD UNIX. It can run simple Windows programs using WINE + Darwine. Again, contrary to popular belief, OS X is perfect for games. It can run games like GTA: SA for Windows under Cider without any lag. Many games have already been ported to OS X - like Call of Duty 4. Runs both games on a 2010 11" Macbook Air. Runs slightly worse on a PC/Hackintosh, since most PCs don't have support for Quartz Extreme, a necessary graphics component for watching videos with Quicktime, 3D Animations, Games, etc.
