Mac OS X , the latest version of Mac OS , is an operating system for Macintosh computers from Apple that combines popular features of the traditional Macintosh user interface on top of a stable Unix operating environment. The pronunciation OS 'ten' is favored by Apple, to stress continuity with previous Macintosh operating systems. Others say OS 'ex' , both to emphasize the relationship with Unix, and because of the presence of the roman numeral X in the name of the operating system.
