The definition of the first personal computer (PC) depends on your definition of a PC. The early (mid 1970s) personal computers were often called micro-computers and came as a kit that you had to build yourself. In January 1977 Commodore launched their PET computer which would be recognised as a PC today. Apple followed with the Apple II in June 1977. The Apple II was probably the first computer to be advertised to the general public as a "personal computer". The IBM PC, the predecessor of the modern PCs running the Windows operating system, was launched in August 1981. The Windows operating system was launched in November 1985 following Apple's launch of the Macintosh in 1984.
