The Mac OS was designed by Apple as the operating system for their Macintosh range of computers. The first Mac OS, originally known as System Software, was introduced with the first Macintosh in 1984. Over the years the original Mac OS was developed, improved and expanded until Mac OS 9 in 2001. For version 10 Apple reworked the Mac OS around a UNIX core and this is known as Mac OS X.
If you are referring to the Mac OS X dashboard widget, it is a variant of Joseph Weizenbaum's Eliza artificial intelligence program that simulates a Rogerian psychiatrist. http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/games/drmac.html
Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) was created by a team of programmers at Apple.
The Macintosh Operating System (Mac OS) was created to provide an operating system for the Macintosh computer.
The 4 Applications that were released were: 1. iTunes 2. iMovie 3. iPhoto 4. iDVD All of these were created to run on OS 9 until OSX came out. All Mac OSX Releases (in order): -Mac OS X Server 1.0 "Hera" -Mac OS X Public Beta "Kodiak" -Mac OS X 10.0 "Cheetah" -Mac OS X 10.1 "Puma" -Mac OS X 10.2 "Jaguar" -Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther" -Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" -Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" -Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" -Mac OS X 10.7 "Cougar" (still in development, scheduled for 2011 release)
OS X is simply an operating system, and its purpose is to provide the basic framework upon which other application programs and services run.
Mac OS X (Cheetah) was introduced on 4 March 2001 having been developed since 1997.
I have a Mac OS X but I know Mac OS is a computer made by the brand/company, Apple.
