I'd argue Mac OS X is proprietary UNIX, but I'll admit to that being a bit pedantic.

  It's definitely partially proprietary, and it is definitely a Unix operating system.
• yokoprime 4y ago
  It's certified, so I would say it counts as proprietary Unix

    Interestingly enough Solaris isn't certified. At a previous employer we would run a large number of Oracle installations on Solaris, on Oracle hardware (SPARC64). I don't think that uncommon.

      Solaris is UNIX 03 certified. Solaris is actually a reference implementation platform for: - TCP / IP; - NFS; - POSIX; - XPG4; - XPG6; - SVR4.

        Didn't Oracle stop paying for the certifications a few years ago? Solaris certainly was certified at some point.

          Yep. Two of my local colleagues were actively working with Open Group until then, fixing UNIX compliance bugs, running the test suites, producing the reports etc.

        >Solaris is actually a reference implementation platform for: Was actually. It is no longer a reference platform for TCP/IP, NFS, etc.

  In the spirit of pedantry, I’ll point out it’s actually called macOS these days. The ‘X’ and capitalization went away when they finally bumped the version number to 11.

    Actually, it was changed to macOS in 2016 for 10.12 Sierra, to align the branding across Apple's various platforms (iOS/macOS/tvOS/watchOS).
