RE: OT NT2K vs Unix.

My understanding is that the current flavor of MAC OS is about $129.

That's not very Unix like!

MAC OS X is based on NeXT OS (that was KILLER) and NeXT was based on CMU Mach kernel (microkernel ideas).

Like Win NT.   (ahem.)

I heard that the Mac OS is a variant of UNIX with a GUI on top.

So that wouldn't be far off the mark.

        The same prediction was made at least 5 years ago. At the rate
Microsoft is going, Windows will be a direct form of Unix. It becomes more like it with every release.
