from wikipedia: "Microsoft's big break came when IBM was planning to enter the personal computer market with its IBM Personal Computer (PC), which was released on August 12, 1981. IBM first approached Digital Research about using CP/M as their operating system. IBM representatives wanted Digital to sign their standard nondisclosure agreement, but Digital considered it overly burdensome and refused. IBM moved to the next group on their list, Microsoft. Microsoft agreed to license an OS to IBM for use in their PCs. However, Microsoft did not have an OS at the time, so they purchased a CP/M clone called QDOS ("Quick and Dirty Operating System") from Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products for $50,000. The Microsoft rerelease was called PC-DOS." and "The Macintosh's predecessor, the Lisa computer, was introduced in January 1983 for a price of $9,995.00 with many of the GUI-related innovations later seen on the Macintosh. It was aimed at business customers but was too much of a hard sell at the time; it was not a success for Apple, and the line was discontinued in 1986. The Macintosh was hinted at on January 22, 1984, with a famous Super Bowl commercial featuring a female athlete throwing a hammer through a giant TV screen image of a dictator ("Big Brother", alluding to the tyrant character of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, and to the dominant computer maker at that time: IBM, colloquially known in the industry as "Big Blue"). The Macintosh was officially introduced and went on sale on January 24, 1984, for a price of $2,495.00." I just read through the entries quickly, so maybe I missed something. |

Tiger is really stable, hasnt crashed once. I use a G5 at work. And the GUI on Tiger might be nicer. |
