Week 3 Additional Reading Post

"What is Mac OS X?"

This article helped with identifying (more than the wiki article) what exactly makes a Mac OS X so different from a PC with Microsoft Windows system, even though the author isn't contrast and comparing them directly. The architecture "tab" is a little beyond me in computer language and I am guessing most people who are thinking of buying a Mac... but the features and software part would be most helpful for those considering whether or not to switch to Mac. My only two concerns are is that he specifically lets people know this article should not be used for reference and (2) right in the beginning he is talking about giving a hacker "over-friendly" information about the Mac OS X system. Once again, as discussed before, this is something I am surprised to see being tied in with UP classes.
