> Terrible comparison. Not as bad as you make it seem. While OS X's kernel is indeed something of a mutt, so is its userland. See here for one reference on the topic: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-advocacy/2008-August/003674.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-advocacy/2008-Aug... Now Android for the most part may have a mostly pure kernel(although I wonder how you come up with ~95%), but it's userland is mostly BSD based(see libc, libm, etc) as is OS X. > OS X merely took parts of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and the Mach kernel. Since this is also a large part of how the Linux kernel evolved minus Mach/XNU, I'm not clear where your beef is.
