The term PC (personal computer) could apply to any brand of small computer, even 
the MAC.  

Years ago, you either had an IBM or an IBM 100% 
compatible computer (clone) and it was that fact that 
distinguished it from a MAC.  (And of course that they 
weren't interchangable due to operating system and 
mechanical differences).

How/what/where/when/why did PC evolve as 
the "name" of preference for the IBM class of 
computers?
