Since Java's bytecode is platform-independent, Java applets can be executed by browsers running under many platforms, including Windows, Unix, Mac OS, and Linux.

* Alfred ( software ), an application launcher for Mac OS X

* Mac OS X, iOS

Three emulators of the machine exist, ElectrEm for Windows / Linux / Mac OS X, Elkulator for Windows / DOS and the Multi-system emulator MESS.

( The others are Mac OS X, Solaris and HP-UX.

The rise of TCP / IP during the 1990s led to a re-implementation of most of these types of support on that protocol, and AppleTalk became unsupported as of the release of Mac OS X v10. 6 in 2009.

MacTCP would become a standard part of the Mac OS in 1994, by which time it also supported SNMP and PPP.

With the purchase of NeXT and subsequent development of Mac OS X, AppleTalk was strictly a legacy system.

AppleTalk support was finally removed from the MacOS in Mac OS X v10. 6 in 2009.

AFP is still in use in Mac OS X, even though most other AppleTalk protocols have been deprecated.

There is one major uncompressed audio format, PCM, which is usually stored in a. wav file on Windows or in a. aiff file on Mac OS.

Stand-alone official AIM client software includes advertisements and is available for Microsoft Windows, Windows Mobile, Mac OS, Mac OS X, Android, iOS, BlackBerry OS.

The redesigned AIM for Mac is a full universal binary Cocoa API application that supports both Tiger and Leopard – Mac OS X 10. 4. 8 ( and above ) or Mac OS X 10. 5. 3 ( and above ).

These included updates to EtherTalk and TokenTalk, AppleTalk software and LocalTalk hardware for the IBM PC, EtherTalk for Apple's A / UX operating system allowing it to use LaserPrinters and other network resources, and the Mac X. 25 and MacX products.

In October 2007, at the Luxemburgish Hack. lu Security Conference, Kevin Finistere and Thierry Zoller demonstrated and released a remote root shell via Bluetooth on Mac OS X v10. 3. 9 and v10. 4.

On the other hand, Mac OS X has since version 10. 6 shown hard drive size using decimal prefixes ( thus matching the drive makers ' packaging ).

* The Intel versions of Mac OS X from versions 10. 4 ( Tiger ) to 10. 6 ( Snow Leopard ) have Rosetta, a binary translation program that allows applications meant for use on PowerPC Macs to run on Apple systems that use Intel processors.

EFI booting has been supported in only Microsoft Windows versions supporting GPT, the Linux kernel 2. 6. 1 and later, and Mac OS X on Intel-based Macs.

By 2000, most large-scale ( Mach-like ) efforts had ended, although OpenStep used an adapted Mach kernel called XNU, which is now used in the OS known as Darwin, which is the open source part of Mac OS X .. As of 2012, the Mach-based GNU Hurd is also functional and its inclusion in testing versions of Arch Linux and Debian in progress.

Today further experimental research on Mach appears to have ended, although Mach and its derivatives are in use in a number of commercial operating systems, such as NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP, and most notably Mac OS X using the XNU operating system kernel which incorporates an earlier ( non-microkernel ) Mach as a major component.

The only remaining widespread uses of the Mach kernel are Apple's Mac OS X and its sibling iOS, which run atop a heavily modified Mach 3 kernel.

That includes UNIX-based computers, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X ( whose foundation is the BSD Unix kernel ), and even smartphones, increasingly.

( Other UNIX implementations built on top of the Mach kernel are NeXTSTEP, MkLinux Mac OS X and Apple iOS.

* Filesystem in Userspace ( FUSE ), a Linux kernel module also available for FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenSolaris and Mac OS X

It uses a Mac OS 9 System Folder, and a New World ROM file to bridge the differences between the older PowerPC Macintosh platforms and the XNU kernel environment.

Mac OS X exposes an affinity API that provides hints to the kernel how to schedule threads according to affinity sets.

* BSOD – shows fake fatal screen of death variants from many computer systems, including Microsoft Windows Blue Screen of Death, a Linux kernel panic, a Darwin crash, an Amiga " Guru Meditation " error, a sad Mac, and more.

Quartz 2D Extreme is disabled by default in Mac OS X 10. 4 because it may lead to video redraw issues or kernel panics.

* Stability — While ' theoretical ' stability in Mac OS X was much better than stability in Mac OS 9, Mac OS X v10. 0 was riddled with fatal bugs that caused kernel panics, especially in complex hardware setups.

MkLinux started as a project sponsored by Apple Computer and OSF Research Institute, to get " Linux on Mach " ported to the Macintosh computer and for Apple to explore alternative kernel technologies on the Mac platform.

The work done with the Mach 3. 0 kernel was extremely helpful in bringing up NeXTSTEP on the Mac platform, which would later become OS X.

In native mode, performance is better, but it requires modifications to the base Linux kernel, whereas a VM can run on top of any unmodified operating system that supports virtualization, including Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

XNU is the computer operating system kernel that Apple Inc. acquired and developed for use in the Mac OS X operating system and released as free and open source software as part of the Darwin operating system.

What's new in Mac OS X 10. 6 is the ability to run XNU in 64-bit kernel space.

K32 is the default kernel for 10. 6 Server when used on all machines except newer Mac Pro and Xserve models ( 2008 and later ) and can run 64-bit applications.
