The Macintosh project was started in late 1979 and was originally intended to be a low cost home computer, but instead took after the Lisa, Apple's first computer with a GUI, which was in turn modeled after (with permission) Xerox's Star computer and [[Pilot OS]]. Both the Lisa and the Mac were made for businesses, but the Mac initially sold for 1/4 the cost, and was the first commercially-successful OS with a GUI.

===Family and relationships===
====The Mac-tans====
Although she tends to be childish, is scatterbrained, and has a poor attention span, she means well and still strives to be a mother and leader figure to the rest of the [[House of Mac | Mac-tans]], even though nearly all of them see her as a little sister-figure who needs to be cared for. Still, they appreciate her efforts.

Still, they appreciate her efforts.  


In meetings between the Mac and Windows families, she tries to be civil and leader-like, but is at times haunted by the OS Wars of the past, and may act out aggressively in perceived self-defense.  
====Family meetings====
In meetings between the Mac and Windows families, if she's at the Mac House, she tries to be civil and leader-like, but is at times haunted by the OS Wars of the past, and may act out aggressively in perceived self-defense.  


She still considers most of the DOS-tans to be rivals, especially [[PCDOS|PC-DOS-tan]], who acknowledges the rivalry to this day. Their rivalries, mutual or one-sided, are still civil though, just like in the pre-OS Wars days. She doesn't see [[QDOS|QDOS-tan]] as a rival though, and sees her as a friend and innocent little sister figure to her.  
====DOS-tans====
Of her contemporaries, her main rivals were MS-DOS-tan and PC-DOS-tan, as they had the largest marketshare and were direct competitors to the Macintosh. She largely ignored the home computer-tans, such as the Atari and Commodore-tans, since the Macintosh was well out of the home computer price range.
 
She still considers most of the DOS-tans to be rivals, especially [[PCDOS|PC-DOS-tan]], who acknowledges the rivalry to this day; System 1-tan likes to poke fun at PC-DOS-tan for being so uptight. Their rivalries, mutual or one-sided, are still reasonably civil though, just like in the pre-OS Wars days. She doesn't see [[QDOS|QDOS-tan]] as a rival though, and sees her as a friend and innocent little sister figure to her.
