Back in the 1980's when personal computers were really getting started, it wasn't the Big Two, Microsoft and Mac; there was a whole slew of personal computers being marketed--IBM, Apple, Texas Instruments, Commodore, Atari, etc.--and each one had its own dialect of BASIC. Yes, back then these early computers all came with the BASIC programming language built-in or as an add-on. Over time BASIC became less important as the average user tended to run, rather than write, programs--and as programmers increasingly moved to more sophisticated languages.
GWBASIC is the successor to IBM's BASICA. The original IBM PC shipped with three versions of BASIC: Cassette, Disk, and Advanced (aka BASICA). Cassette BASIC came on the computer ROM, so if you turned on the machine with no disk in the drive (yes, the OS ran from floppy), you got the version that accessed data from cassettes instead of disk. Advanced BASIC included more commands than Disk BASIC, including PLAY [music] and [draw] CIRCLE. These versions of BASIC were dependent on the IBM PC ROM, so they won't work on modern computers. GWBASIC is free of that limitation, and will run on most any DOS or Windows machine, or in DOSBox on a Linux machine.
