On Mac OS you can look the System and Application folder, but that is it.
People could probably read and write to any other file and destroy them that
way, but as there is no login there is no break-in and they can't destroy or
change the system.

As for Mac OS X, as Ron said, it is BSD-based with a non-X GUI, so all the
Unix tricks work just fine.  However, in theory it should be easy to set up
a next to no privileges user thanks to the GUI.  Anyway, Mac OS X is not
final, and Mac OS X Server costs a lot of money (for non-developers)...
