Built on a rock-solid UNIX foundation, OS X is engineered to take full
advantage of the technologies in every new Mac. And to deliver the most
intuitive and integrated computer experience.
Hardware and software made for each other.
Since the software on every Mac is created by the same company that
makes the Mac, you get a fully integrated system in which everything
works together perfectly. OS X works with the processor in your Mac to
deliver the best possible performance. The Multi-Touch trackpad on every
Mac notebook gives you more than enough space to pinch, swipe, and tap
your way around most of the apps on your system. OS X gives you long
battery life by dimming the screen in low-light conditions and even
regulating processor activity between keystrokes.
Interact with your computer in a whole new way.
Tap, scroll, pinch, and swipe using Multi-Touch gestures, directly
controlling what.s on your screen in a more fluid, natural, and intuitive
way. When you scroll down on your trackpad or Magic Mouse, your document
scrolls down. When you scroll up, your web page scrolls up. When you swipe
left, your photos move left. And there are many more gestures that make
all you do on your Mac the best experience you can have on a computer.
Hands down.

you use every day, everything is designed to be simple and intuitive.
Of course, making amazing things simple requires some seriously advanced
technologies, and OS X is loaded with them. Not only is it built on a rock-
solid, time-tested UNIX foundation that provides unparalleled stability,
it also delivers incredible performance, stunning graphics, and industry-
leading support for Internet standards.
Easy access to all of your apps.
Working and playing on a Mac is all about apps, so OS X makes it simple
to find and open those apps fast. The Dock is a handy place on your desktop
for storing and launching your favorite apps, and it makes switching between
them a breeze. The Dock also includes Stacks, folders that give you quick
access to documents, files, and downloads. Launchpad is a full-screen home
for all the apps on your Mac. It lets you arrange them the way you want,
group them in folders, and delete them with ease. And apps purchased from
the Mac App Store automatically appear in Launchpad, so you can browse
thousands of apps and start using the ones you buy right away.
Drag the icons of your favorite apps to the Dock for quick access.

It does the saving for you.
Say goodbye to the worry and the hassle of manually saving your work. Auto
Save automatically saves your work, while you work, without you having to do
a thing. Versions creates a new version of a document each time you open it
and every hour while you.re working. It saves only the differences between
successive versions, so the impact on your disk drive is minimal. Just open
Versions to see the current document next to a cascade of previous versions.
You can copy and paste between versions or revert to an earlier version.
And when you share a document, you share only the most recent copy.
