2. A Question for Everybody
Have you ever heard the
brand war between Mac
and PC?
3. Introduction
Everything started with the idea of Douglas
Engelbart, an American engineer working at the
Stanford Research Institute.
The idea of a mouse driven graphical user interface
back in the 1960s.
Researchers at Xerox Corporation were inspired by
the idea and made 'Xerox Star 8010 Document
Processor in 1981 for $17,000.
It did not become commercial successful.
5. Introduction
In 1981, IBM computers was also released but it is
just a huge hit on business industries and not on
home markets.
As a result, IBM bought the Operating System from
Microsoft which is “MSDOS” and installed it in all of
their hardwares.
Other manufacturers were then able to copy the IBM
hardware design and ship their 'Clones' with copies of
MSDOS purchased directly from Microsoft.
6. Introduction
As a result, even without IBM's approval or
participation, their PC became an open standard
with virtually unstoppable economies of scale. By
1990 IBM Compatible PCs captured an 80%
market share, by 2000 97%.
Thishas then led Microsoft stay ahead of the
competition against Mac.
8. Introduction
Although IBM PCs running MSDOS dominated the
market, Apple will be forever remembered as the
innovative company behind the first mass market
GUI based computer.
Steve Jobs actually visited Xerox in 1971 and saw the
demonstration of Xerox Star in its development stage.
He then saw a potential and work on it.
By the time Xerox released the Xerox Star 8010 in
1981, Apple were already hard at work on their own
GUI based computer.
9. Introduction
In 1983 Apple finally released their first GUI based
computer.
Unfortunately the "Lisa" computer was an expensive
machine targeted at business and academia which
proved to be a commercial failure.
A year later (1984) Apple launched their successful
"Macintosh" computer for consumers.
Tillthen, Macintosh battled out with Windows by targeting
a niche market that would patronize Mac.

30. Conclusion
Both Macintosh and Windows have their own
strengths and weaknesses as a Operating System.
The bottom line is, your very own preference and
lifestyle will dictate which of the computer brand is
more compatible to you.
