Yeah, when OSX moved to the BSD kernel developers loved it. *nix OS, pretty GUI and with virtualization and bootcamp you can run windows/linux when you need to.

BSD userland. The kernel is a Mach-derived kernel called XNU.

  XNU combines a BSD-like kernel (providing POSIXish services) with Mach. The BSD portion of the kernel runs in supervisor mode like the Mach portion.

    Oh interesting--I didn't realize that was the case. I guess it is correct to call the kernel BSD in that sense!
