I like you better when you're pretending to be lord of hell. Just sayin...
Beats the packing peanuts outta me. If I've used it, I wasn't aware of it. When it comes to OSs other than the two marquee names, I'm a little deaf girl. But a pretty one.doubtful. eggs, can we get a weigh-in here? how often do you use linux (any distro will do, just so we can get a sense)?

Mac OS X uses the Darwin UNIX kernel, version 9.6.0. Leopard, OS X 10.5, is certified as Open Brand 03 registered UNIX product.

So, in essence, being wrong about this one thing invalidates anything else you have to say about kernels, versioning, computers, operating systems, or anything really.
Oh, so I can then run any Unix, or Linux program on Max OSX, yes? Alrighty then. Now, since many of you claim the same thing for Windows, I daresay I can take Unix and Linux programs, and they shall work interchangeably between the Mac OS and the Windows OS, yes?
I absolutely abhor stupidity.
Is not 'Darwin' open to the public? As such, why is Mac OSX an PROPRIETARY OS? Why the difference if they are both the same?
"Spark plugs work in Fords! Spark plugs work in Chevrolets! Therefore, Fords are Chevrolets!" You're a fucking retard. The kernel is a PART. It is NOT THE WHOLE OS.

You're dodging the point. You previously posted that OS X is in no way similar to Unix. I've proved that OSX is running Unix, certified Unix in fact. So yes, I can run any Unix or Linux program on my Macbook running Leopard. Where are you getting Windows with this?
Darwin is open to the public. You can build it from source and install it on your computer. OSX is built on the Darwin foundation, but there is much, much more to it. Thus, leveraging the additions they've made to the Darwin core, they feel like they can charge for it. That's about the only difference.
Take out the kernel, and what do you have? Millions of lines of useless code, you moron.
PWNed. If MAC OS X is indeed Unix-based, then I should be able to run any Unix or Linux program on it. Alright, I shall go out right now and purchase an Mac, along with some Unix/Linux software.
Isn't that what I said? Macs can run Unix software. There, I said it again. I'm so pwned.
No, I don't. I run Unix software natively on my Macintosh.
