Mac OS X is the world's most advanced operating system. Built on a
rock-solid UNIX foundation and designed to be simple and intuitive,
it's what makes the Mac innovative, highly secure, compatible, and
easy to use. Quite simply there is nothing else like it.
Mac OS X is both easy to use and incredibly powerful.
Everything - from the desktop you see when you start up your Mac to
the applications you use every day - is designed with simplicity and
elegance in mind. So whether you're browsing the web, checking your
email, or video chatting with a friend on another continent, getting
things done is at once easy to learn, simple to perform, and fun to
do. Of course, making amazing things simple takes seriously advanced
technology. Which is why Mac OS X is built on a rock-solid, time-
tested UNIX foundation that provides unparalleled stability as well
as industry-leading support for Internet standards.
The most striking feature of a Mac is its elegant user interface,made
possible by a graphics engine that's built to leverage the advanced
graphics processor in every Mac. This engine provides the power for
things like high-definition video, stunning graphic effects, and high-
quality animations. Fonts on the screen look beautiful and extremely
readable. A soft drop shadow makes it clear at a glance which window
is active and which ones are in the background. Document previews
using Quick Look are high resolution so you can actually read the text.
And built-in support for the PDF format means you can view and create
PDFs from almost any application in the system.
Since the software on every Mac is created by the same company that
makes the Mac itself, you get a completely integrated system. When you
have a Mac notebook, for example, it automatically detects and connects
to available Wi-Fi networks. It wakes from sleep as soon as you open
the display and automatically reconnects to networks so you can get
back to work fast. And it gets the most out of your battery by spinning
down the hard drive when it's inactive, by intelligently deciding
whether the CPU or GPU is best suited to perform a task, and by dimming
the screen in low-light conditions.
With virtually no effort on your part, Mac OS X protects itself - and
you - from viruses, malicious applications, and other threats. It was
built for the Internet in the Internet age, offering a variety of
defenses from online threats. Because every Mac ships with a secure
configuration, you don't have to worry about understanding complex
settings. Even better, it won't slow you down with constant security
alerts and sweeps. And Apple responds quickly to online threats and
automatically delivers security updates directly to your Mac.
The versatility and power of Mac OS X make it compatible in almost any
environment, including Windows networks. It works with virtually all of
today's digital cameras, printers, and other peripherals without the
need to download separate drivers. It opens popular file types such as
JPG, MP3, and Microsoft Office documents. In addition, Mac OS X includes
built-in support for the industry-standard PDF format, so you can read
and create PDFs from almost any application in the system - perfect for
sharing work with colleagues whether they use a Mac or a PC. And if you
want to run Windows on your Mac, you can do that, too.
The industrial-strength foundation of Mac OS X ensures that your
computing experience remains free from system crashes and compromised
performance. Occasionally an application might quit, but it won't affect
the rest of your system. And Apple keeps everything running smoothly by
releasing software updates that download automatically to your Mac.
Many of these updates provide important security enhancements for the
operating system. But they also update other Apple software installed
on your Mac, including iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand.
So with just a click, you can make sure that all your applications
continue to run smoothly and safely
