Am I the only one feeling this is wrong? I know Apple wants their Macs not be called PC's.
But a distinction between PC and Linux is something new to me.
- vezzy-fnord 13y agoAs much as I disagree with it, it's not that rare. Steam does the same erroneous distinction, as well.
- haswell 13y agoFeeling "insulted" hardly seems reasonable. Perhaps better wording should be used on the site, and indeed the use of "Mac" and "PC" seem a little off, but declaring that you are insulted by the author's choice of words is more childish than constructive. To the author: consider using OS names instead.
- yebyen 13y agoMaybe that should be Mac®... It's pretty clear that PC in this context means Windows. In the install docs, they mention "Windows" by name as a section heading. It could easily be an SEO thing, having the word Windows on the landing page is bad for business. To answer your question I think maybe yes, you are the only one.
- fat0wl 13y agohey, apple fanboys pay heavy upcharges for all their "not PC" devices & for that they earn the privilege of shaping the marketing vocabulary landscape XD
- Kurtz79 13y agoIf you feel insulted maybe it's because you are a fanboy yourself ? I agree it could be clearer, but insulted, really ?
- alandarev 13y agoA fanboy of ..? Due to so many downvotes I must have not expressed enough the absurd of "PC, or Linux". I know the reasons Apple is branding itself not as PC, I got used to it. But saying "PC, or Linux" is something completely new to me.
