Apple also leverages the Unix history in its advertising. However, here problems arise. Apple has allowed a reputation for security to develop that is based on hearsay. The thought is that, because OS X is a version of Unix, the most secure operating system known to-date, it is "secure." This does not follow, and Apple has not been forthcoming in this regard.

Mac OS X is based on a version of Unix called BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution). BSD itself has been developed at the University of California at Berkeley since the 1970s.

However, when Apple adopted BSD for its operating system, it adapted it, as well. It changed substantial parts of the OS to suit its needs. These changes have ultimately resulted in a less secure operating system.

There are indeed so many security issues with the flagship operating system that some researchers spent January 2007 posting new, previously undocumented Mac OS X exploits every day for the entire month. This was commonly called the Month of Apple Bugs.

As if this were not bad enough, Apple has actively sought to suppress news of security problems in the operating system. In 2006, an editor at ZDNet, George Ou, detailed an "orchestrated assault onMacBook wireless researchers."

For this reason and the general lack of practical innovation, many have switched from OS X to Linux, and to Ubuntu in particular Like my self i dual boot ubuntu and windows and mac os x so i can play sims2
