'''PC''', or '''[[wiktionary:personal computer|personal computer]]''', is a multi-purpose computer built to be used by an end-user. Starting in mid 1970s with Xerox Alto, PC has significantly improved over the three decades. Since the late 1980s, [[Microsoft]] operating systems and Intel hardware have dominated much of the personal computer market, first with DOS and then with [[wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows]]. Alternatives to Microsoft's Windows operating systems occupy a minority share of the industry. These include Apple's [[wikipedia:macOS|macOS]] and free open-source Unix-like operating systems such as [[wikipedia:Linux|Linux]], [[wikipedia:AmigaOS|AmigaOS]] and [[wikipedia:Chrome OS|Chrome OS]].
