Mac OS X 10.6 is BSD Unix at its core not some cobbled together single user system with more patches than base code.
You don't know what you're talking about. NT is based on VMS which was a very nice multiuser system. In fact they stole quite of bit of it and had to pay for it.
And OSX is *not* BSD Unix. It's Mach with BSD compatibility built in. Before you start kicking and screaming realize that Windows contains quite a bit of BSD code as well.
I use OSX as my day to day system, but all the FUD and ignorance around here is pathetic.

You have *no* idea what you're talking about. Sockets only made it into BSD in 1983, 6 years after its inception. One of the central problems of Unix is that it doesn't understand networks directly and has the sockets interface(the same sockets interface that windows uses in WinSock) instead of a system that matches the unix "everything is a file" interface. What you're whining about is Microsoft building the browser into the kernel. Love them or hate them, building the browser into the kernel let Microsoft kill Netscape and gave them an extra 10 years of life they wouldn't have had otherwise. Google is killing them now, but that's another matter entirely.
You should *really* shut up before you make even more of a fool of yourself.
VMS was a radical system in it's day, This is the fortieth anniversary of Unix© from Bell Labs. Unix© was designed from the beginning as a During the DARPA days of BSD development, DOD added requirements Segmentation and fault tolerance was mandated for use in phone switches. There were API interfaces in Unix© prior to 1983 when Just for your education: You claim that A T & T Bell Labs does not understand networks "Everything as a file" allows for standardized drivers and multiple platforms I'll take certified Unix© with a BenutzerFreundlichkeit interface There are some people today who have had too many self-affirmation courses As background, I was an Member of Technical Staff in Bell Labs all during the eighties. My boss was Distinguished MTS and an assignee on many patents including Audix©. I met Kernighan and Richie at conferences. I worked with F.P. (Ivan) Polensky. I used both Sys V and BSD 4.3 with kshell and Emacs on BLITs with mice I supported the Bell Labs Network(BLN) a combination of uucp and Jes3 store and forwarding. Spent some time building shell code for typesetting on office lasers. I was the Project Manager for the porting of switch backplanes Worked in teams porting IBM System Assembler Macros to "C" for use in phone switches. I'll bet that's not on your CV OBTW are you a member of Mensa ?Did you miss your starbucks this morning ? Son.
but users were not connected by any networks except landlines.
multi-user networked (arpanet) robust fault tolerant system.

BSD sockets were introduced in 4.2 Rick Rashid was a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon

a Unix-based message-passing operating system for
multiprocessing applications.
Mach was built on a BSD version of Unix;
it was a "microkernel" that replaced the BSD kernel.

What a hoot LOL rotflol
