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.

How do you downgrade from Mac OS X to Mac OS 9?
You cannot without erasing your hard drive and installing Mac OS 9 from scratch. Even then Mac OS 9 may not run on modern Mac hardware because Mac OS 9 needs the ROM chip to boot. Modern Mac OS X hardware uses EFI to boot the system instead of a ROM chip to boot. Mac OS X v10.0 - Mac OS X v10.4 support Mac OS 9 applications and can run them, you just need to install the Mac OS 9 compatibility program which can be found on the Mac OS X Install CD.
