oh I've heard lots to suggest it's a bit crap as an OS, but I just love the design of the OS, it looks so pretty! thank god for StyleXP and people who make OS X imitation skins. yum yum.

fiBlack is a bit easier on the eyes, although fiCharcoal might be a more accurate description...

indeed is it Unix, at the core.
but on top is I've heard an idiot-proof stupidly simple interface in an idiot-friendly pretty environment.
as my dad says: "They couldn't get it right with their own kernal, so they used Unix and, HEY! they still can't get it right"
but then, he amazingly manages to be both a Mac and an MS basher (note, not MS' OS basher, but the company, MS).

If we're going for the beardiness quota, then yeah, Mac OS X is based on BSD, but it doesn't use the crappy XWindows system, so beloved of the bearded hordes.
