Before OS X Apple spent a lot of time and money trying to develop a modern OS to succeed the original Mac OS line: Copland (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copland_%28operating_system%29 ). It included their own "Nu kernel". Then Copland was cancelled, they bought Nextstep, and adopted Next's BSD/Mach hybrid to become Mac OS X.
