The operating system used on Macintosh computers is written primarily by the programers at Apple. However they incorporate innovations from outside Apple such as 'Cover Flow' which were popular with Macintosh users. The original operating systems upon which the latest versions of the Apple operating system are based are 'NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP.' and 'BSD,' which is a derivative of 'UNIX.'
