The Apple II was more user-friendly than the Altair 8800 primarily due to its integrated design and built-in keyboard, which allowed for immediate interaction without needing additional hardware. Additionally, the Apple II featured a more intuitive graphical user interface and supported plug-and-play peripherals, while the Altair required users to program in machine code and lacked a straightforward interface. This accessibility made the Apple II more appealing to a broader audience, including non-technical users.
No one knows for sure, but by the end of August 1975, MITS claimed to have sold more than 5,000 Altair 8800s. Ed Roberts, who owned MITS, claimed to have sold more than 40,000 of the computers in total.
This question has several answers. There is varying stories of who actually invented Altair.See "related Links" below for a history of the MIT Altair and decide for yourself which version is more credible.edit:created by Ed Roberts and Forrest M. Mims, both U.S.A.F., Weap. Lab.1969, created Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry System (MITS)
That would be the Altair by MITS. Bill Gates and Paul Allen saw it and decided to write a BASIC interpreter for it to make it a little more accessible to the general public, and thus Microsoft was born. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak also got a glimpse of the Altair and believed everything about it was just plain wrong, and designed a personal computer of their own, forming Apple, the first PC they had created being the Apple I. Many years after the Altair debuted and Apple, Atari, Radio Shack and Tandy's PCs were getting popular, IBM jumped on the PC bandwagon and completely revolutionized the PC industry with the IBM PC, which set the stage for PCs like we usually know them today and was also responsible in part for Microsoft getting its monopoly. Today, almost every PC in the Market, even the Macs, are IBM PC Compatibles, meaning they run under the x86 architecture and are modular in design.
In short - No.The order of the Hashashin (assassins) were real, and the methods and technology employed in the game are realistic recreations. The Templar, the cities, and of course the crusades depicted in Assassin's creed were real as well. But the actions and identity of the character Altair were fabricated. Much of the game is a skewed, though partially feasible view of history, don't take it very literally.Major hint for this is that "Altair" is Arabic for bird, or more specifically eagle, and many allusions are made to Altair being like an Eagle. Such as the starting animations, speeches from Au Mualim and in fact the original working title of the game was "The Eagle and Apple"but Al-Malik al-Ashraf Salāh al-Dīn Khalil ibn Qalawūn(Arabic: الملك الأشرف صلاح الدين خليل بن قلاوون‎); (b. c. 1262, Cairo - d. 14 December 1293, Kom Turuga) was the eighth Mamluk sultan of Egypt from 1290 until his assassination in December, 1293. He is most famous for conquering the last of the Crusader states in Palestine with the capture of Acre in 1291.This states that altair may be real!
CyberLink has more functions...but Nero is more user-friendly. Hope this helps :)

When the Altair 8800 came out in January 1975, users could purchase a DIY kit for $397, which consisted of some parts and circuit boards. Users could also purchase assembled Altairs for $498. Additional parts (such as memory boards) were typically purchased as upgrades in order to make the computer more usable. These upgrades could make the final cost of the computer upwards of $4000.
1974 I remember it very clearly as I spent the first half of 1975 helping my senior year High School electronics instructor assemble one. Unfortunately I never got a chance to see if it ran or not as I graduated and left for College before we were able to finish assembling the kit.

The name Altair can be used for either boys or girls, although it generally is used more for boys. It is of either Arabic or Latin origin, and the meaning of Altair is "bird".
Altair because he is more skilled and more experienced than Connor. And he is better in offensive. But Connor is way better at defensive, dodging, and deflecting.But I think they have the same speed and balance. The resault winning would most likely be Altair.
Altair is the brightest star in the constellation Aquila.It has a spectral type of A7 so it has a colour of white.See related link for more information.
Apple computers and printers technically may have a better and more advanced selection, but companies like Microsoft offer more user friendly computers for everyday people. Apple computers are more for the business or office use.
Altair is still in the main sequence stage of a stars life. See related link for more information.
Ezio, hes killed more, fought more, won more. I mean, Altair was stabbed! (Sorry for the spoilers) Ezio is lived through his WHOLE game, unlike Altair. Altair died at the end or his. Well, I think that's enough spoilers. Plus, he's in the next game. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, due for release in November of this year (2010), we again follow the adventures of Ezio Auditore da Firenze.
The first mass-produced program written by Bill Gates' company, Microsoft, was a version of the programming language BASIC for the Altair 8800 microcomputer. Released in 1975, this software laid the foundation for Microsoft's future success and established the company as a key player in the burgeoning personal computer industry. The Altair BASIC allowed users to write programs in a more accessible way, significantly contributing to the rise of home computing.
You do not play as Altair Lbn La-Ahad, but instead, you play as Desmond Miles, a bartender who descended from Altair. You are playing Altair in Desmonds' memories. Although you play as Altair in the action-part of the game, you do play as Desmond outside the Animus Dude, really? they were asking who voices Altair. Your view of the question would obviously be specific to the individual since there is more than one game in the world.
