Also the Commodore did not boot, it just started right up.
The PC started much slower, especially since they had to boot to a disk of some kind, definitely a slow 5.25 inch floppy on the first PC which is when Commodore was already well-established.
PC's also had no audio, color, or graphics, only internal beeper tones and monochrome text.
