Its core is Mach and BSD, off the shelf components from the start, and the environment we call Cocoa is nearly pure NeXTSTEP, a product that was fit and polished years before it was purchased by Apple. The Quartz windowing system is a significant but not world-shattering upgrade to the Display Postscript used by NeXT for a decade and such items as the Dock and the additions to the Finder are borrowed almost directly as well. The rest of the OS X interface is reworked Macintosh, so what the heck has Apple been doing for the last four years? One might easily assume that a thousand Apple programmers have spent the last third of a decade perfecting the way that finder windows slurp into Dock icons and diddling around with interface elements that didn't need to be changed in the first place." ---> Jarmo Lundgren, multimediatsaari Helsingin Sanomat, Verkkoliite p. 09-1227555 / 040-5345868 "Less is moo." - The Holy Mad Cow
