Universality
One property of computers is that anything one computer can do, any other computer can do it, too.
- Usually one computer can do the task faster than the other, but they are both able to do it
This is a fundamental property, called universality
Thus, no one can claim to create a more powerful computer in the sense that it is capable of more sophisticated computations than another computer
Universality: Any problem solvable by some computer can be solvable by any computer
Compete on speed, memory capacity, reliability, price, etc. but not the ability to solve more complex problems
