"Levels" of Computers the Future?

RabidMoose writes "Gamespot has an article up talking about a recent interview with Microsofts's Dean Lester about the future of PC gaming (as well as Xbox 2 tidbits). Basically, they're in contact with the big hardare producers about transitioning to a system of tagging pre-made computers with "levels". He provided a hypothetical example that a PC with a "level 5" designation might have a medium processor speed, amount of RAM, and mid-range video card, while a "level 7" PC might have a faster processor, more RAM, and a higher-end video card."

Operating System Levels

[Anonymous Coward]

If operating systems had levels:

- Windows ME would run under the maximum negative value limit
- Windows XP would probably be 2
- Windows 2000 would probably be 2.5
- Windows Server 2003 would probably be 3
- Linux would probably be a 5
- Mac OS X would probably be a 5.000001 just to piss off Linux people
- *BSD would be a 10

Your PC has gained 250 experience points!

Level up! Your PC is now level 4!

Your PC attacks Doom 3 ( level 9 ) with a bastard sword!

Doom 3 attacks your PC ( level 4 ) with a Minigun with HE ammo!

Your PC has died. (A)bort, (F)ail, (R)etry?

All of this will make you shit yourself, which requires Level 3 Toilets, and if you don't, Level 2 Toilet Paper to clean up.
