The basic PC architecture predates all Macintosh computers by approximately 3 years. The IBM PC was released on August 12, 1981. The very first Macintosh (whose architecture shares nothing with modern Macintoshs) was released on May 3, 1984.
When IBM took over the market in personal computer from Apple, Apple developed the Macintosh. The Macintosh sported a new 3-inch disk drive that was faster than the 5-inch drives used in other machines, including the Apple II. Apple sold 70,000 Macintosh computers in the first 100 days.
Mac OS is the computer operating system for Apple Computer's Macintosh line of personal computers and workstations. A popular feature of its latest version, Mac OS X, is a desktop interface with some 3-D appearance characteristics. See the related link for further information.
Apple's Macintosh computers use Apple's operating system known as OSX. The current version is OSX 10.8.#. Macintosh computers can also run the Windows and Linux operating systems, but those systems are not included in the purchase of the computer.
Highly sophisticated technology required for manufacturing of IC chips.
The original Macintosh icons were created by Susan Kare. She went on to design icons for Windows 3 and recently for FaceBook.

Three examples: 1. Windows 2. Macintosh 3. Linux
