[QUOTE="zeroz52, post: 347739, member: 28386"] Taken from wikipedia: In computing, the X Window System (commonly X11 or X) is a networking and display protocol which provides windowing on bitmap displays. It provides the standard toolkit and protocol to build graphical user interfaces (GUIs) on Unix, Unix-like operating systems, and OpenVMS, and is supported by almost all other modern operating systems. X provides the basic framework, or primitives, for building GUI environments: drawing and moving windows on the screen and interacting with a mouse and/or keyboard. X does not mandate the user interface – individual client programs handle this. As such, the visual styling of X-based environments varies greatly; different programs may present radically different interfaces. It's standard as part of linux operating systems. I am waiting for Leopard to come out before I purchase my Macbook, but looked into Neooffice and would recommend that as well as it integrates right into OS X. Doh, I got beat to the punch. [/QUOTE]
