Mac OS X has peeked the curiosity of many computer scientists [1, 2]. This operating system has shown to be the most user friendly, non-intimidating, and commercially successful distribution of a Unix system. As a result of these and other OS characteristics, the Mac OS X operating system has a charm that has compelled many (including the authors of this work) to switch platforms. Because of this we expect Mac OS X to have a long and fruitful future.

From the article: The Apple Macintosh is the most significant microcomputer since the original MITS kit, but its importance hasn’t been adequately explained. The Mac is user friendly, but even more important is what lies beyond that user-friendly interface–MacPaint. MacPaint provides visual power. It is fun to use–you can zap the mouse around, draw a zillion rectangles in a minute, put four reflecting planes in the drawing space, and create amazing symmetrical designs with mere flicks of the wrist. Why is this important? One hemisphere of brain is more or less verbal while the other is more or less visual. The Macintosh is a tool for the visual brain.

The Killer App That Saved the Macintosh2019 •
In 1985, Apple was in crisis and Macintosh and LaserWriter sales were plummeting. Marketing manager John Scull was tasked with saving the LaserWriter. Despite having no staff and facing resistance, Scull marshaled allies across Apple's sales and marketing organizations, its dealer channel, and third-party partners like Aldus and Adobe in order to launch a successful desktop publishing marketing program. By 1988, desktop publishing at Apple had become a $1 billion business.
