According to Apple, they are using a BSD UNIX kernel on top of a Mach
micro-kernel. They're hardly the first to do this. There have been
investigations into a VMS kernel on a Mach micro-kerenl (isn't
FreeVMS one of them?).

You found iTunes, iMovie, Finder, Launcher, Speach, and Project on
a FreeBSD site that I can run on my Intel based FreeBSD system?

Gee, I think that's what I said. Mach is a micro-kernel, the BSD
kernel runs on top of it.
