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.

2005 called, they want their PowerPC-Macs back!

Interesting extract from that article...

Apple is the only personal computer company to have successfully completed such a transition – competitors Commodore and Atari never regained their market positions after their switch from 6502 to 68k in the mid-1980s[2][3] and stopped manufacturing computers in the early 1990s, around the time Apple was switching to PowerPC.
