Introduction

A personal computer (PC) is a microcomputer whose price, size, and capabilities make it useful for individuals. The term was popularized by Apple with the Apple II in the late-1970s and early-1980s, and afterwards by IBM with the IBM Personal Computer.

Personal computers are also known as home computers. Sometimes the term "Personal Computer" is erroneously used exclusively for computers running a Microsoft Windows operating system. For example, a Macintosh running Mac OS, or an IBM compatible PC running Linux, are also personal computers. This confusion stems from the fact that the term "PC" is often used as a shorthand form for "IBM compatible PC".
