Darwin is based on *BSD, The interface is based on Step.
Innovating?
Why do always claim Mac is better than anything else?
If people ask something about Linux you shoudn't reply with "Use OS X".
The person who started this topic is a PC user.
OS X doesn't even run on it.

Look, I have already apologised for that, OK? I misread the post, and wasn't sure exactly what he wanted. I've read it again, and I saw my mistake.

Indeed. Buying a Macintosh is a large investment, and people should really think about it if it's worth the money.
Linux is a very good operating system and a great alternative to Windows, which makes Apple lose their "Switch to us if you want to get rid of Windows" attitude.
Even on the creative side of things, Linux is catching up. We have The Gimp, Blender, POV Ray, AC3d, etc., and soon, Macromedia Studio MX will have a Linux version.
It's not catching up to the Mac on the graphical industry yet, but it's on its way.
Let's face it, Linux is becomming a wider used alternative for Windows than Macintosh, just because of the price issue.
And the usually working compatibility (on an executable level, networking is fully compatible with Windows now Samba 3 has arrived) with Windows is helping a bit too.
But, Mac OS X doesn't suck. In fact, it's sometimes even better than Linux at the GUI.
Apple knows the balance between keeping it easy, but not to get in the way of the power user. And that's the balance every operating system needs (except the server editions of course ;) ).

Oh yeah, its Mac, not MAC.
