Mac has quietly slipped a new Xwindow system for OSX (Sounds like O.S. Sex right?). This will allow more Unix proggies to run natively.

X11 provides a windowing environment that lets Unix programs run on Mac OS X essentially the same way they do on their native operating systems. The tool also makes the process of developing a native OS X application faster, while allowing programs to run on a Mac in the meantime. Also, X11 running on OS X gives Unix users a portable option they might not have with Unix.
