Unix = Mac OS

X11 integrated to Mac

Seems very interesting, especially since Linux based, systems was going to pass MAC in popularity as a OS this year.

i don't own a mac, but the people i talked about, they all love this underlying unix stuff.

Just learned OSX is Linux.

More and more stuff keeps popping up each day and its making me want to give Mac a shot. I don't know if I can hold out much longer.

Mac's too spendy for me. When you can run linux on a cheap pc from dell with tons of power, I don't see alot of benefit to switch.

It's a great thing that macs have X. That means that the only (still active) user scale system that doesn't have it is Windows. Now I can worry less for not porting out of xlib.

Actually, OSX is Darwin running over a Mach microkernel, that is a derivative of BSD. But nobody would notice the difference from a distance :)

That's absolutely great news to see official support for X11 from apple!

Some questions remain, however:
- How does this relate to the existing similar projects?
- Do they plan to turn this into a product, or will it be free (eg. included with the OS)?
