I probably misremembered some stuff but also stated it too broadly - it was a lot more "mainstream" in Macs than in Windows, in part b/c you could purchase a low-end Windows machine, whereas all Macs start off at a baseline minimum that is fairly high.

Also, Apple put BSD Unix into the very core of their Macs years before Microsoft started poking their noses around the subject.

The end result was a machine that "just worked", right out of the box, which was pretty nice.
