A popular feature of its latest version, Mac OS X , is a desktop interface with some 3-D appearance characteristics. OS X has a modular design intended to make it easier to add new features to the operating system in the future.
The first version of the Mac OS, part of the "Classic" Mac OS series, was originally released in the mid-eighties. It did not possess a command line and could only run one application at a time.
