OS X (pronounced "o-ess-ten";[14] originally Mac OS X) is a series of Unix-based graphical interface operating systems (OS) developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It is designed to run on Macintosh computers, having been pre-installed on all Macs since 2002. OS X is the fourth most popular general purpose OS; within the market of desktop, laptop and home computers, and by web usage, OS X is the second most widely used desktop OS after Windows.
来源 http://www.wikiwand.com/en/OS_X 也就说 OS X 的原名为 Mac OS X ,后缀 X 代表版本 10 ,所以如果只是 OS X 并不知道是什么系统,加上前缀 Mac 则更好的限定名词的范围,限定为 Mac 下的系统第十版本 |

twoyuan OP @blueandhack 来源是这么说没问题大家都知道,可以 OS X 现在不需要加上这么个前缀来限定名词范围了吧,至少在 Apple 节点下没有第二个 OS X ,况且苹果自己从 10.8 开始也就不再加 Mac 这个前缀了:
... Following a soft transition started with Mac OS X Lion, Apple consistently refers to OS X Mountain Lion as "OS X" rather than "Mac OS X". 来源: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X_Mountain_Lion |

@blueandhack
@twoyuan In 2012, with the release of OS X 10.8, the "Mac" prefix was officially dropped in all references to the operating system name within its web site. 来源: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X 还是要看仔细哈哈 |

@twoyuan 查了一下苹果注册的商标 http://www.apple.com/legal/intellectual-property/trademark/appletmlist.html
苹果注册了两个 Mac OS 和 OS X 从下面的文档可以看出,苹果对自己产品的自述看得出来,他们使用 Mac OS X ,而非简写为 OS X BSD (4.4 Lite) operating system from UC Berkeley and others for Mac OS X and/or Mac OS X Server: All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must include the following acknowledgement: “ This product includes software developed by the University of California, Berkeley, FreeBSD, Inc., The NetBSD Foundation, Inc., and their respective contributors.” We must also obtain UCB ’ s written permission prior to any endorsement or promotion of their software. 所以综上所述, V2EX 采用 Mac OS X 有这些原因 |

twoyuan OP @Pastsong
这么说也有道理 @blueandhack 感谢提供的资料,但我感觉这些文档这样做也许是出于严谨的需要,在社区中无论是国内的知乎还是国外的 Quora 、 Reddit 都以 OS X 代替了 Mac OS X ,我认为在严谨性没有那么必要的社区,适当简化名词是一种惯用的做法。就像「 GNU/Linux 」虽然比 Linux 更加严谨,但是大家还是会习惯以「 Linux 」来称呼它。 |
