True, PCs are single-user systems. But, thjey're often shared among
several users - not sumultaneously, but shared none the less. There
PCs are also connected to networks, allowing access - even simultaneous
access - by a variety of people. There's just as much (however much
you think that might be) need for security on the single-user PC as
on any other system that isn't locked away whenever its only user isn't
present.
