Mac OS introduced the graphical user interface to the world.
The original Macintosh operating system was released in 1984. By the late
1980s, the Mac’s operating system was the most technologically advanced in
personal computing. However, Apple Computer was unable to capitalize on its
lead, and Mac OS (as it came to be called after system 7.5) lost market share
to Microsoft Windows. Still, Mac OS is widely considered to be the easiest
operating system for the beginning computer users. In 1998, Apple was reinvigorated
by the return of founder Steve Jobs. A new version of the operating system,
called Mac OS X, was released in 2000 and bought Mac OS up to speed with
Microsoft Windows.
