Minor nitpick. Could you please not call Windows only software "PC only".

I'm refering to bits such as these :

"... It works well with Outlook and is only available for the PC."

"... Voipbuster, tend to come with a PC-only client."

PC (Personal Computer) refers to the hardware, not the operating system. The software you refer to above is "Windows only".
