the first microcomputer is the altair 8080....but the first commercially available microcomputer is the apple II produce by the Intel Corp......=)
what was the first microcomputer called.
One advantage of installing multiple operating systems on a stand alone microcomputer is that the computer remains usable even if one OS stops working. Also, if a program does not work on one OS, you have the option of trying it on the other OS's.
I would say no. It really depends on how you define "major", but by the time the first Apple Macintosh was released in 1984 we already had the IBM PC, Apple II, and machines by Commodore, Acorn, Sinclair and others. All of these count as microcomputers (the next category up, the minicomputer, would have been more like the size of a refrigerator) and some of them were bestsellers for their time. By the way, it doesn't make sense to call the Mac OS a computer. It's an operating system, i.e. just the software.
Tandy Corporation quickly followed MIT by offering Radio Shack's first microcomputer in 1976.
The Altair is widely recognized as the spark that ignited the microcomputer revolution as the first commercially successful personal computer-by olivia L.
