PC or Mac?

PC or Mac? That is the question. I would like to clear some things up. The term “PC” is generally used when talking about computers with Windows or Linux operating systems. But the fact is that it includes all computers running operating systems built for the consumer market, including Mac computers. However, Apple has always wanted to classify their own computers as a separate and unique type of computers because their computers (both hardware and software) are entirely put together by them. It is all about their brand, Mac(intosh), a brand of PCs.

Another misconception is that PC includes computers only based on the popular x86 and x64 architectures. That is also false even when talking about Apples old PowerPC architecture, which is now by the way replaced by the others.

Apple! You are PC and you better start compete as PC.

The correct terms are Windows and Mac!
