2. THE CHALLENGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTERS HISTORY OF COMPUTING Rashed Alfadhel

3. COMPUTER Through the history, there always has been a known piece of technology called” Computer”, as we people imagine that this life without computers is sort of impossible as where we have we arrived in the technology world. 1

4. THE BEGINNING OF COMPUTERS. when computers were first visible in our society there was the two most famous companies in which attracted people's attention to their products while others were still preparing their products to be recognized in the market.

5. WINDOWS COMPUTERS In 1981, Windows computers have had the first operating system which was called “MS-DOS”, it was effective but also there was some difficulties that people had to confront. 2

6. WINDOWS 1.0 Consequently, they had to think about a new and effective way to build new system that can run PC and easier for many people to understand. Four years later, they came up with a new system called “Windows 1.0” which was the newest version of windows systems. Windows made it easier for computer users to understand and deal with the system without facing any complicated obstacles.

7. APPLE COMPUTERS Apple corporation had accomplished a successful business that attracted the people to buy Macintosh computers. 3

8. MACINTOSH SYSTEM Macintosh systems, which most of the time, use Snow Leopard, is usually intended for professional use. These instances include, but are not limited to, music production (i.e. garageband) and photography (i.e. I-Photo). Not only does this system attract professional attention via its programs, its hardware is much more expensive (on average), than most PC systems, making them inadvisable for the everyday computer user.

9. COMPETITION Though Apple's system (Macbook Air, Pro, and Mac) may seem more advanced due to its innovative inventions (touchpad) and other things of the like, it is not as compatible as a PC,due to its source code restriction policies, widely known as a “closed system”. That being said, a PC, which usually runs a Windows operating system is much more accommodating to third party hardware, making it an excellent choice for users who want to gain maximum productivity out of their systems.

10. SAFETY FIRST Due to the fact that Apple's system does have restriction that can make the “code” of the computer unreachable is because they want to make their inventions only on their devices, unlike the Windows computer which can run many various programs and apps. In this case, Apple products will have the availability to be more secured at all times.

11. PRICES Apple's devices and computer are expensive comparing to other notebooks corporations, it is because they use different parts. For example, they use a piece of aluminum and laser cut it to fit the size of the notebook, then attach all the parts inside that single block. Consequently, this is an expensive process in all aspects, but results in higher build quality that satisfy Apple's customers when buying a $1200-1700 computer.

12. HOW DID WINDOWS BECOME HUGE COMPANY? Through the years we can hand it to Microsoft teaching the public the computer language due to the monopoly that Microsoft had on personal computers, so they were the only personal computer dealers on market, and that what gave them the advantage to be that huge company bake in the 19s.

13. CONCLUSION People nowadays think about all these kind of things as marketing and it involves comparison and competition as well. In other words, because Apple has put more efforts to build the computer, many people will stand by the idea that since it's “new” and “fresh” it should be better. Thus, windows computer can be bought by the average person and also with more than ten options since the windows can run on device except the Macintosh.
