- The main difference between a workstation and a PC is the extra amount
- of money you pay for the vendor's marketing and sales departments to
- convince you that you have purchased a workstation and not a PC.
-
- The minor difference is that workstations run much less software which
- costs more than PC software. Almost no cool games run on workstations.
-
- Also you can't buy workstations at Sears, although you can buy
- workbenches.
