I think the statement is legitimate. Mac OS X is the

that they are at the top or near the top of the desktop Unix market simply
because of the number of OS X capable Macs out there.
As a Unix old-timer, it seems very strange to talk about "Unix"
without mentioning a command-line interface or any of the supporting
programs that make up the whole system. How does one, on an OS X out
of the box run a shell script? Where in OS X do I find sed or m4 or
awk?
Exactly what makes Unix Unix?
