Re:Or try automatic updates.

The myth that Windows Auto Updates work without intervention is a beautiful and compelling story, but sadly it is just that for the vast majority of people.

The truth is, updating your OS can be a hassle, no matter what machine you use. Apple has a fairly good track record, but that doesn't mean it's always going to be painless.

What does DX9 do for a PC? Well, DX9 is an API that allows games to run. Wouldn't it be nice if gaming on a mac was just a reboot away?

I guess I could own a PC for gaming, instead of for doing real work like my Mac.

Or I could get a console and enjoy a wider selection of games, and not be pigeonholed into dozens of boring FPS rehashes (now you're in WWII! Now you're in WWII in space! Now you're in WWII in space as a SpaceNazi!) or a bunch of repetitive MMORPGS (Now you're fighting monsters for experience! Now you're doing it in space!).

Wouldn't it be nice if the PC gaming industry could be rebooted and start producing more interesting content instead of boring rehashes of the same game over and over? How many Diablo clones, Doom Clones and Warcraft clones can you take before your gag reflex kicks in?
