OS X 10 is redundant. It's either spelled OS 10 or more commonly OS X. Apple has had 10 iterations of the Mac OS, and they decided to use the Roman numeral X for the tenth. This is mainly because the new operating system was so different from previous Mac operating systems, having been built on top of a UNIX core.
