At first their code names for OS X were "big cats" (Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Lion etc), from version 10.9 onwards they are code named after locations in California (Sierra, Mojave, Catalina etc). The Mac is the only computer in the world that can run all the major operating systems, including Mac OS X, Windows XP, and Vista. Apple then went on to release new and improved versions of OS X every one to two years. OS X was first released in March 2001 (code name: "Cheetah"). If Software Update finds new software, click the button to install it. Development began in 2000 as a project to replace the legacy Mac OS software and integrate NEXTSTEP, a Unix-like operating system developed under Steve Jobs’s NeXT, Inc. Software Update then checks for new software. Apple’s macOS (also known as Mac OS X or simply OS X) operating system as we know it today has more than 20 years of innovation behind it. Apple releases a new major version roughly once every year. If you chose System Preferences, click Software Update in the window. The latest version of macOS is macOS 13.0 Ventura, which Apple released on October 24, 2022. The name change brings it more in line with the naming conventions of other Apple products: namely "iOS" - the operating system for iPhones and iPads. If you chose System Settings, click General on the left side of the window.
MacOS used to be called "OS X" - Apple changed the name to macOS with the release of macOS "Sierra" - version 10.12 - in September 2016.
It's based on the UNIX operating system and provides a very attractive and intuitive user interface. It's a multi user, multi-tasking, modern operating system. MacOS is Apple's Operating System for their computers: it's for Macbooks, Macbook Pros and Desktops.
