Microsoft Windows

Microsoft recommends that you regularly create Automated System Recovery (ASR) sets as part of an overall plan for system recovery so that you are prepared if the system fails. ASR should be a last resort for system recovery. Use ASR only after you have exhausted other options. For example, you should first try Safe Mode Boot and Last Known Good.

ASR is a two-part system; it includes ASR backup and ASR restore. The ASR Wizard, located in Backup, does the backup portion. The wizard backs up the system state, system services, and all the disks that are associated with the operating system components. ASR also creates a file that contains information about the backup, the disk configurations (including basic and dynamic volumes), and how to perform a restore.

The ASR backup process creates two items: 1)A full backup of the dirve on which Windows is installed and 2) An ASR floppy disk on which information that will help Windows use Automated System Recovery is stored.

The ASR backup process creates two items: a full backup of the drive on which Windows is installed and an ASR floppy disk on which information that will help Windows use Automated System Recovery is stored.

The term Personal Computer dates back to the early 1960's when people were predicting such devices at a time when computer users had to share a connection to a large mainframe computer. The Hewlett Packard 9100A was advertised as a personal computer in the late 1960's but would be considered a programmable calculator today. With the arrival of microprocessor chips in the early 1970's early personal computers were sold in a kit form that people had to build themselves. The Apple I was one of the first personal computers to be sold ready built. This was replaced by the Apple II which was marketed as a personal computer in 1977. Other early personal computers include the Commodore PET and the Tandy TRS-80.

So... to answer the question: No Apple did not create the term Personal Computer but it was one of the first creators of personal computers.

That would depend on how you define multiuser:

• in the traditional timesharing sense and as Multics, Unix and VMS was designed to be multiuser, where it means many people may login to one computer at the same time via terminals connected to that computer, Windows is clearly NOT multiuser.
• As a system where many user accounts can exist on one computer and any of these people can login ONE AT A TIME and can access servers through a network that other users can access at the same time, Windows is multiuser.
