What… are we just a penguin and Apple Trees…

For real, though, I wish Microsoft (mojang does…) cared enough to support Linux for BE.

I just want to mention that I hate that Microsoft seems to think that they own the term "Personal Computer".

Was it Microsoft that "took it" though? I always thought it was Apple that started calling their machines Mac as opposed to PCs (the others) and the term just stuck to Microsoft because, of course, there are only two options /s

If anything, I hate that Apple doesn't call their machines PCs, which they absolutely are.

historically a "PC" is a machine compatible with the "IBM PC" and the only OS available for that was DOS or later Windows

Of course then Unix-like operating systems started to become available for the same machines, and Apple switched to Intel processors for a while too.
