Cupertino, California - It was a historic event. On January 24, 1984, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs introduced the first Macintosh computer. The highlight was the machine's revolutionary graphical user interface.

"It allowed lay users to work with computers for the first time," explains Andreas Stolte from the Heinz Nixdorf Museums Forum in Paderborn, Germany. Yet, it was ultimately the PC and MS-DOS, and their successor Windows, that won the next battle in the operating system war, not the Mac.
