Apple was definitely first. Gates stole the idea of the PC from visionary known as Steve Jobs. While maintaing his status as the biggiest thief in the business, Bill Gates managed to be the sole "PC" provider in the 1980's and early 90's until Steve Jobs returned to Apple and redesigned the Mac personal computer into the iMac.

Apple was first. They basically invented the "home computer" in the late 70s
IBM came along in 1983 with a home computer called the "PC". They made it for three years and quit. Ran on "DOS", not WIndows
Other people began to clone the PC, and kept it alive.
Apple introduced the "Mac" line in the mid to late 80s, which had a Windows like interface.
Microsoft "adapted" the Mac interface to create "Windows 3.x" in 1990.

Depends on what you mean.
Dos was first, which was the precursor to Windows
Mac was the first GUI (Graphic User Interface) based OS
