A apple computer is a fast and good looking computer they are safer then pcs with viruses, they have amazing internet, and they have great communication applications.
A PC is a better gaming system, slower than macs, and is not as protective from viruses.
one of the main differences between the two is the security you have with a mac vs a PC. while not on record as not being able to "get" viruses, apple computers will not run any exe applications (which are the main virus culprits). PC's are cheaper to buy. You can expect roughly twice the price when you purchase an apple computer. However many people attribute this difference to a quality difference. Macs' now use Intel chips like the PC's use and that has brought them up to speed in the areas that they have been lacking over the years. Mac introduced wigets that were later copied in PC's OS vista after a fashion. also you can now partition you hard drive in mac's OS 10.5 (leopard) to include vista or xp. This allows apple to run the programs that it could not run before. Apple does not offer support for this program however as it is a 3rd party product. It does work quite well however and if ever anything goes wrong with your mac it is much easier to fix yourself instead of requireing a programmer. apples website apple.com has answers to any problem you may experience on their support page.

AnswerAssuming you're like the 99% who are using PCs or MACs: An operating system resides on your local computer and it's function is to allow the software to work with the hardware on that machine. A network operating system allows multiple computers to connect to each other, controlling the sharing of devices, files or programs. This resides on a shared computer called a "server".
It depends what you mean by widely used and PC. The widely used Apple II computer used Apple DOS while another operating system which was widely adopted (including versions for the Apple II) was called CP/M which was created by Digital Research. They went on to create DR-DOS which was one of the versions of DOS used on the early IBM personal computers. Microsoft had purchased an operating system called QDOS which was adapted by IBM into PC-DOS for their own computers and by Microsoft as MS-DOS for use on computers not made by IBM but following their design (known as IBM clones). These became increasingly popular and so MS-DOS became widely adopted and PC-DOS faded away. Apple went on to develop the Macintosh with its graphical user interface which Microsoft copied to create their Windows operating system.
You can install Ubuntu easily on most PCs using their CD.

The main difference between Macs and PCs is the operating system. The Mac OS is easy to use and efficient. Windows doesn't have the simplicity and is more prone to viruses.
