This document compares Macintosh and Windows operating systems. It discusses their origins, with Macintosh tracing back to Douglas Engelbart's idea of a mouse-driven GUI in the 1960s. While Xerox developed early GUIs, Apple released the first mass-market GUI computer with the Macintosh in 1984. Meanwhile, IBM PCs running MS-DOS dominated the market. The document outlines guest speakers from the Macintosh and Windows sides discussing three categories: stability and security, reliability/compatibility/multimedia, and affordability. It concludes both operating systems have strengths and weaknesses, and personal preference dictates which brand is best for each individual.

1. Macintosh vs. Windows

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.

4. First GUI Computer (Xerox Star)

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.

7. Introduction
BUT!!

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.

 The bottom line is, your very own preference and
lifestyle will dictate which of the computer brand is
more compatible to you.
