 | | All IBM personal computers are software compatible with each other in general, but not every program will work in every machine. | | | The project was given the code name Project Chess. | | | For details of the first generation of microcomputers that largely died out with the Personal Computer revolution, see home computers. |

| | The IBM PC-XT The IBM PC XT I got an IBM PC XT around 1985. | | | But the XT was my first system that had graphics capability, and I wrote Basic routines like crazy to draw circles, use exotic colors, and even create fractal images, which had just come to public attention at the time. | | | A lot of us at IBM were getting XT's to log on to our office systems from home. |

| | IBM 5150 Personal Computer |
| | The IBM Personal Computer ("PC") was not as powerful as many of the other personal computers it was competing against at the time of its release. | | | The CPU was from Intel, and the operating system (OS) was by Microsoft, who licensed it to IBM as PC-DOS. | | | In 1975, the model 5100 was an entirely self-contained, portable computer system - probably the first ever. |

| | IBM Compatibles - The Secret Guide to Computers |
| | IBM PC When lots of IBM's customers began buying Apple 2 microcomputers to do Visicalc spreadsheets, IBM reacted by developing an improved microcomputer, called the IBM Personal Computer (IBM PC), which did everything that Apple 2 computers could do, but better. | | | IBM listened well: IBM put into the IBM PC all the inexpensive features that business users were begging computer companies to provide. | | | IBM never creates a new kind of computer; instead, IBM watches its competitors' products, notices which ones sell well, and then designs a product that meets the same needs better. |

| | Programmer's Technical Reference for MSDOS and the IBM PC |
| | IBM subjected the operating system to an extensive quality-assurance program, reportedly found well over 300 bugs, and decided to rewrite the programs. | | | IBM found itself left with Microsoft's offering of "Microsoft Disk Operating System 1.0". | | | Some early OEM versions of DOS had different names, such as Compaq-DOS, Z-DOS, Software Bus 86, etc. By version 2 Microsoft managed to persuade everyone but IBM to refer to the product as "MS-DOS." It is sometimes amusing to reflect on the fact that the IBM PC was not originally intended to run MSDOS. |
