I'm sure that others here are well familiar with other officially certified UNIX operating systems[1], but given many widely used Unix-like systems not on the list, I don't think Apple gains anything from the certification. Moreover, it probably is deleterious, forcing them to adhere to system designs that made sense in the 70s and 80s.

- Wowfunhappy 7y agoI'd be surprised if Apple spends all that much money/effort on official Unix certification, precisely because I doubt Apple would bother. How many customers are choosing macOS over something else because of the Unix certification? In a world where Linux exists? (This discussion, of course, has nothing to do with whether or not macOS adheres to Unix principles or compatibility.)
- bumblebritches5 7y agoI mean, you're straight up incorrect. Apple has been officially UNIX '03 certified for over 10 years now. Why you'e trying to argue against facts that are just a single search away, I don't know.
