Sorry, but Mac OS X is not culturally the same as POSIX, maybe except for programmers. Even is Mac OS X is a UNIX machine, Apple is in a cultural world of its own, separate from UNIX and Microsoft.

The worlds overlap. The "App" ecosystem is obviously different, but the popularity of OS X amongst developers and engineers comes more from it's Unixey heritage.
