btw, my TK-85 (A brazillian clone of a cz100 or TS100) says "personal computer" on its case !
OTOH, a PC follows guidelines of compatibility with "some" design, backwards compatibility, in other words, to keep old errors. nad in that regard, they were a piece of crappy hw, with some "magic soft" or no so magic.
The argument why Apple and MS don't merge is clear, monopoly.
Both are bloated soft, yes.
But, I ask myself if I had an apple would I run winblows ?, No. I have an apple !.
Anwya, I prefer linux, I hope they cannot shut it down (but is quite bloated anyways, but with plenty of soft out-of-the-box).
