| | Personal computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Though many personal computers are IBM PC compatible using either Microsoft Windows or closed and open-source Unix-likes such as Linux, a number of other personal computer types are also popular. | | | Many mass-market IBM PC compatible and Apple Macintosh personal computers are standardized to the point that purchased software is expected to run with little or no customization for the particular computer. | | | Later generations were sometimes interchangeably called by the names "home computer" and "personal computer." By the mid-1980s, "home computer" was becoming a less common label in favor of "personal computer." These computers were pre-assembled and required little to no technical knowledge to operate. |
