The Next Computer: The hardware makes it a PC, the software

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of both hardware and software in defining the capabilities and classification of a computer. It suggests that the features and performance of the hardware determine if a computer can be considered a personal computer (PC). However, it argues that it is the software installed on the computer that elevates its functionality to that of a workstation, offering more productivity tools and capabilities. Lastly, the quote highlights how the number of unit sales, referring to the popularity and widespread use of the computer, can classify it as a mainframe, implying a large-scale computing system.
