Yea, fancy that, the Mac being more UnixPC than a UnixPC! I don't think it is "true" Unix because it has good docs! hehe

Bouncing back and forth between Windows and OS X development, one thing has become crystal clear. The documentation Apple creates is, generally, much more well structured beyond anything from MS and the *nix community. 

I liken the current OSs to a line of cars: Ford Tempo *nix Ed., Ford Focus Window Ed. and Ford GT OSX ed. All go well faster than the avg. driver needs, but fit & finish and support is increasingly better, along with cost. This is one reason I think MS has been so successful, it is a nice balance of time investment vs finacial investment. I don't think Apple will introduce a $1000 Macmini with great graphics, but soon enough the iphone will be that anyway. I fear for everyone else at that point.

I work on most Unix variants at work.
HP-UX, IBM AIX, Solaris, and RHEL/SLES

To the enterprise IT, they don't consider it the same as "true" unix,
although it is funny since Mac OS X is POSIX compliant, while some of the
above are not fully POSIX compliant.

Ted
