How is a typical Macintosh computer today different from the first Apple Macintosh?
Hardware-wise, modern Macintosh share 99.9% of the same hardware with any other consumer PC. The first Macintosh shared little with the PCs of the day, other than some standard ports for printers and serial cables. The only thing that truly differentiates the hardware these days is that Macintosh use EFI as their firmware, while PCs use a BIOS designed to be largely compatible with the first PC. Even this is starting to change. Software-wise, modern Macs use a more robust operating system, known as Mac OS X. The first Mac operating systems lacked even the concept of multi-tasking in a meaningful way. Most of the operating system was also stored on a chip along with the firmware. Modern Macs keep all of the actual operating system on-disk.
Why are Macintosh computers less popular than Windows computers?
Macintosh computers were around when Microsoft was still on the DOS operating system. They achieved popularity in the early 1990s because DOS was so hard to use and required so much training and expertise. Microsoft was the bigger company, when Windows was released, most software was written for that operating system. People bought the operating system with which their desired software was compatible. Therefore the Windows system became more popular than the Macintosh system. Apple's refusal to allow other companies to produce Macintosh computers has also contributed, because any computer manufacturer can make computers, buy copies of Windows, and sell computers loaded with Windows. In addition, Macs are generally more stable than PCs as well as being more or less 98% immune to viruses.
Can a operating system for a computer be downloaded onto the computer?
Yes, a computer operating system can be downloaded onto your computer. One of the most common file formats to download operating systems is the .img file format. The .img file format can be used by programs like Oracle's VirtualBox, to create a virtual computer on your own computer. This uses the operating system that is saved in the .img file without overriding your current computers operating system and basically creates another "fake" or virtual computer within your own computer. However, these operating systems can also be used to replace your current operating system or to dual boot your computer, this means to have two operating systems installed on one computer at the same time. Operating systems can also be downloaded for the sole purpose of replacing your current operating system. For example, when a person upgrades their computer from running Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, they are essentially downloading a new operating system on to their computer from Microsoft, but in a way that it completely replaces their current operating system.
What are the operating systems available for PC's?
