Apple's Mac OSX imitated in latest North Korea system
North Korea has upgraded the operating system used in the country - and it bears a striking resemblance to Apple's Mac OSX platform.
Red Star OS is the country's "home-grown" software that is installed on computers found mostly in libraries and schools.
It previously had a look that closely mimicked Microsoft's Windows system.
Screenshots were obtained by American computer scientist Will Scott and published on the NorthKoreaTech blog.
