Sure it's a "personal computer", but not a PC which is the short form for the "IBM PC/AT or clone". Otherwise the statement "screenshots are from the PC version" would be meaningless.


Well, I think it is a meaningless statement. Those who say it always seem to mean "the Windows version".

Unless of course they're talking about the "PC" (x86) version of software/OS that's available for several hardware platforms (cf. Linux for x86, PPC, et c.), and if the look of that software would actually differ depending on which hardware it runs on.

Heh, I remember what it was like: "Multimedia = an ISA soundcard and a CD-ROM drive"
