(A.2.5) What is an operating system - Apple Mac OS

Mac OS is a line of operating systems created by Apple Inc. The Mac operating system is proprietary software that comes preloaded on all new Macintosh computers, or Macs. The most recent version of the operating system is called Mac OS X (pronounced Mac O-S Ten). Like Microsoft, Apple offers a professional version of the operating system that is intended for use on servers and a version of the operating system that is developed for home users.

According to web analyst Net Solutions, Mac OS users account for almost 7.5% percent of the operating systems market as of March 2008. Although the percentage of users is low, especially in comparison to Windows users, Mac operating systems have seen a dramatic jump in growth in 2007. Mac computers are sleek and modern looking, which has started to appeal to many home users.

Two of the common version names of Mac OS X are Leopard and Tiger.
