I just saw the latest advertisement from Apple for OS X.  The banner reads:

Sends other UNIX boxes to /dev/null.

The rest of the page is filled with quotes like:

"This new OS has accomplished in a short period of time what others have
struggled to do for years:  bring compelling, widely accepted GUI (called
Aqua) to UNIX."

"We're old hardcore UNIX hackers, so a BSD-based system is mother's milk.
Everything you expect to be there is there, and it works right."

"My PowerBook G4 is now running every major UNIX app that we had on our
Suns, AlphaStations and SGIs--and running them faster."

What about the old Mac software?  It runs in "classic" mode.  I have to give
Apple a lot of credit for taking a legacy system and adapting to the current
environment.
