The mach kernel is a pretty basic operating system, providing only
minimal services.  You *always* put something "on top of" mach;
in this way, it's somewhat like IBM's VM.

NeXT has put 4.3bsd UNIX "on top of" mach; sometimes, this combination
is referred to as "mach", but that's not *really* correct.

Finally, NeXT has a windowing environment, called NeXTStep, that runs
on top of UNIX, that runs on top of mach.
