Not at all. It is one of the oldest. The Mac was the first GUI operating system to be cheap enough for home use (the Apple I costing $US500-600). Before that were command line operating systems, so Macs are neither the oldest, nor the newest operating system.

there is no "best" operating system. it all depends on what one needs a computer for, so i suggest asking a professional in a store to compare your needs with different operating systems.

You should also consider what you plan to use the computer for; as an example, if you work in an company that uses Macs exclusively and you plan to work from home, then it makes sense to use a Mac at home. Conversely, if the company exclusively used Windows it would make sense to use Windows.

There are also some applications are are only available for particular platforms; it is possible to install a virtual machine to run Windows only applications on Mac hardware, but it's an expensive way to get a Windows PC!

Finally, there are things that one operating system does better than others - for example, metadata for files (things like author, title, composer, location of creation) is very well handled in Windows but much more rudimentary in MacOS; that may influence your choice.
