Some years ago I read about a group of software engineers leaving Apple with the intent of making a more user friendly version of Linux. Has anyone heard of any results?

I don't recall hearing about that, but considering that OSX is built on Unix, it shouldn't be a problem for them.
Do you remember any of the particulars?

I don't know about the Apple link but generally speaking, Ubuntu is considered one of the most user friendly versions of Linux.

Apple did release a customized version of Linux in the 90s. It was based on the Mach microkernel, and parts of that code are in OS X today.
