Just a few comments, about OS X.
First of all, it is not so mythical considering you can download
betas that are rather funtioncal at this point.
OS X is based on rhapsody, which is a unix based OS that includes
stuff from NeXT and Mac.
Okay, further more, OS X is built on Mach microkernel FreeBSD
and a number of other open source projects.
You can get these as Darwin which has reportedly run even on x86
hardware.
There are several other API's available, graphics API's etc.
These are not just "layers on layers" of stuff. They are
using some of the coolest features of a lot of systems to
make this a truly cool OS.
I did some minor work with GNUStep which is a clone of
NeXT environment and I always thought the API was very clean
and slick for an Obj-C encironment.
Anyways, heres a site.
