Ok, but I think a better name would be "PC user".

PC user implies that most likely that person uses a version of Windows. Mac isn't PC either.

How about:

Linux PC user

BSD PC user

Solaris PC user

Not a PC user (Mac)

PC: Personal Computer.

There are many and different OS's, it would be a long list for something which is not very supported here (You don't see many stickies or lists related to emulation on PC).
Also another example: not all the emulator for Windows XP are working on Windows Vista. If we have OS groups, we would have "Windows XP" and "Windows Vista", and it's a long list.

If you were going to narrow down the lists down to specific versions, you'd be here for days. That's why there would only be broad listings such as Linux, BSD, Windows, Mac, and not specifics for say Win2k, Mac 10.3, Ubuntu 6.06, or Fedora Core 4. The list would go longer than you'd think if you included all past versions of windows, mac, bsd, linux, solaris, beos, haiku, reactos, etc. We'd be here all day debating what to put on that list.

I propose a customized user group, in which a user can put what ever they want in that group field, and once a mod has approved the customized tag, the user can use that specific tag if he/she/it wants. Limit one only, your mileage may vary.

mm sorry but I don't agree. I still think "PC user" is the best option.

This brings us to the "PC vs Mac" commercials. Most people will still assume PC means a computer running Windows and not "personal computer".

ive always thought pc means personal computer.

ive never thought it as a computer with windows, i just considered a pc a computer in general.

**xg917** · December 30th, 2007, 02:51
