A brief history of the Macintosh

This article's goal is to trace the history of Apple, Inc. through its major products, and in particular its flagship: the Macintosh.

Their first steps into the computer industry were with Hewlett Packard (for Wozniak), and Atari (for Jobs). It was Steve Wozniak who was inspired first, creating what would later become the Apple I in 1976. His friend Jobs urged him on, and on 1 April 1976, they created the company Apple Computer, in order to be able to sell the Apple I.

Windows NT (for "New Technology") is a 32-bit operating system developed by Microsoft.

• Windows NT is a multi-user system, which means that depending on the user who is connected to the system, the interface might be different, as might system privileges;
• Windows NT natively supports numerous network features;
• Windows NT has more security, in particular for the file system (NTFS) as well as for the robustness of the OS.

History and genesis of Linux

This entirely free operating system is the brainchild of Linus B.Torvalds. At the beginning of the 90s, Torvalds wanted to create his own operating system for his graduate project. Linus Torvalds intended to develop a version of UNIX which could be used on a 80386 type architecture. The first UNIX clone which worked on a PC was Minix, written by Andrew Tanenbaum, a minimal operating system which could be used on a PC. Linus Torvalds then decided to expand the possibilities of Minix by developing what would become Linux. Amused by this initiative, a number of persons contributed to help Linus Torvalds turn this system into reality, and in 1991, a first version of the system was published. In March 1992, the first version containing almost no bug was distributed.

With the growing number of developers working on this system, the system quickly integrated free redevelopments of tools available on commercial UNIX systems. Aftwards, new tools for Linux began to appear at an incredible rate.

History of Windows

Windows is the operating system sold by the Seattle-based company Microsoft. Microsoft, originally christened "Traf-O-Data" in 1972, was renamed "Micro-soft" in November 1975, then "Microsoft" on November 26, 1976.

Microsoft entered the marketplace in August 1981 by releasing version 1.0 of the operating system Microsoft DOS (MS-DOS), a 16-bit command-line operating system

The first version of Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Windows 1.0) came out in November 1985. It had a graphical user interface, inspired by the user interface of the Apple computers of the time. Windows 1.0 was not succesful with the public, and Microsoft Windows 2.0, launched December 9, 1987, did not do much better.
