Nope, it should remain Windows...
...But maybe there should also be a sub section for Mac and Linux.

"Windows Emulation and Homebrew Discussion Forum" (TO THE ADMINS)
Windows Emulation and Homebrew Discussion Forum
Why "Windows"? I think it should be changed to "PC", so people running homebrew stuff on their Mac or Linux computers can discuss there.
Also what happened with all the posts from "PC Emulation Forum" and "PC Homebrew Forum"? Why they were deleted?

Well, although most people use windows I agree with JKKDARK. It should be changed to PC.

A Mac strangely enough isn't a PC!

Uh yes, you're right...Just forgot that...
Hey, I just looked it up at Wikipedia: "Macintosh, or for newer models, Mac, is a brand name which covers several lines of personal computers designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc."
Personal Computer=PC

As Axelius said, PC means Personal Computer. Mac is a personal computer. Originally Posted by VampDude

Since the PC homebrew scene is not active here, we shouldn't have separate sections for Linux, Mac, Windows, etc. Everything on the same section would be the best option.

Yeah I had that in mind when I wrote Originally Posted by VampDude

I wouln't know, but an explanation of Mac can do more than a "PC" comes to mind. Originally Posted by Axelius
