MacOS X, the current Mac operating system, is based upon the BSD Unix operating system on top of a Mach micro-kernel, with a Mac finder like interface. Very similar to the NextStep, an operating systems that ran on Next computers in the mid-80's. Apple purchased Next in 1996 with the intent of developing the next generation of MacOS based on NextStep. It was way ahead of it's time in the mid-80's and I think still somewhat today.
