I haven't used it, but from what I heard it might as well be Unix.

My unix professor went out looking for a new laptop a few days after Mac OS X
came out. He found a laptop with OS X on it, and was flying around the machine
doing all kinds of stuff like he'd been using that OS for years. The salesman
came up to him and was amazed at how well he knew what he was doing. The
salesman asked how he knew Mac OS X so well, since it had only been out a few
days. My professor replied, "It hasn't been out for a few days. It's been out
since 1968!"

So from what my unix prof says, it's Unix with a different GUI.
