/* Differences to the CPC */
Although the name might suggest it, the PCW was more than just a word-processing system. Unlike some other similar word-processing systems of its time, it came with a normal operating system, CP/M, and could run any software for this system, like spreadsheets, databases and so on.
The PCW had its biggest success in the UK, where it is even used up to today in some branches, e.g. small hotels.
In Germany, Schneider mainly marketed it as word-processing system, not outlining its useability usability for other purposes, so that professional users decided for IBM compatible PCs.
