About the Book Mac OS X combines the power/stability of Unix with the simplicity of the Mac. The new Aqua interface makes everything even more intuitive. At the foundation of Mac OS X lies an Unix-based operating system that delivers stability and performance providing advanced features such as protected memory, preemptive multitasking, advanced memory management, and symmetric multiprocessing. It includes easy-to-use tools for making movies, managing music, capturing digital camera photos, burning music and data CDs, playing DVD movies, and even authoring DVDs.
