What are two advantages of installing more than one operating systems on a stand alone microcomputer?

Was the Mac OS the first major microcomputer?

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.
