Macintosh
The Macintosh interface is considered to be the easiest to use of all graphical user interfaces. Developed in 1983 by Apple, the Macintosh Operating System (or Mac OS) is seeing a resurgence of popularity with the introduction of several new models, like the iMac, the G4 Cube, and the Titanium PowerBook G4 Macintosh. Macintosh has always had a very loyal following, and with good reason. The Macintosh OS (combined with the Macintosh hardware platform) is a very user-friendly computer. As such, many people who have never used computers before are buying Macs.
