I'm just going to paste this here since you don't really seem to know that a Mac is not a PC:

"PC" is an initialism for "personal computer". However, it is used in a different sense: It means a personal computers with an Intel x86-compatible processor running Microsoft Windows (sometimes called Wintel). "PC" is used in contrast with "Mac", an Apple Macintosh computer. This sense of the word is used in Get a Mac advertisement campaign that run between 2006 to 2009, as well as its rival, I'm a PC campaign, that appeared on 2008.

Because the marketing departments say so?  

So what is this "Mac" I have that runs bootcamp with Windows on it?  Isn't that an Intel X86-comaptible based computer running Windows?

And how can a Mac not be a 'personal computer'.  Mac owners are usally very personal with their Macs and I'm failry certain they qualify as computers.


No, because the architecture is different.
