Windows computers are usually refered to as "PC" which means "Personal Computer" even though the Mac is also a personal computer.

"Mac" usually refers to a family of computers built by Apple Inc.. They usually run an operating system, also by Apple Inc. called OSX, the X coming from the tenth operating system released by Apple Inc. Mac computers are able to run the Windows operating system as well as OSX.
