Hog wash ...
... MAC gave up "being" MAC and became MAC OSX (built on FreeBSD)
because [in
part] Linux market share (on the desktop) had exceeded MAC. MAC shifted to a
unix-like format. The point is that MAC is a unix-like OS just as Linux
is ... and they are both gaining significant market share threatening M$.
Comparing a full multiuser true preemptive multitasking OS (like the Linux
or FreeBSD Kernel) to CPM or DOS is like comparing a Ferrari to soap-box
racer. Give me a break.
