Line 9:
More recently Apple has brought the Macintosh line from the earlier [[Mac OS]] family to [[Mac OS X]], a [[Unix-like]] operating system with a different user interface. This transition also took a number of years (a small percentage of older Macintoshes still run the earlier operating system), and was facilitated by the inclusion of [[Classic (Mac OS)|Classic]], an evironment in which an instance of [[Mac OS 9]] could be run, permitting the execution of programs which had not been ported to Mac OS X.
A long-rumoured internal project within Apple, known as "[[Marklar]]" was designed to ensure that builds of Mac OS X were sufficiently [[cross-platform|portable]] as to compile for both PowerPC and x86-class processors. Jobs confirmed this, stating that every version of OS X had in fact been compiled for Intel processors as well as PowerPC. It is not known what other processors, if any, for which Apple maintains current builds
