"Nevertheless vendors such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Fujitsu, and more recently NEC, all offer the opportunity to downgrade to XP Pro."
Really? My girlfriend just bought a laptop from HP, and hated Vista so she wanted to downgrade to XP. We look on the HP site for drivers, and there are none. I send them an e-mail and they respond that they are starting to cut XP support from their newer models.
Personally I think it's up to the parents to decide when they want their kids playing video games. Me I've been around video games all my life. When I was a baby my dad used to turn Baseball for the NES on and just let it play the demo or he'd play SMB and I'd fall asleep. When I was three I started playing their old NES, of course then I wasn't good, but then I got a console of my own, a SNES, when I turned 4. So really I've turned out to be a good person, but I think it depends on the parents and how the kid(s) reacts to video games.

I'd suggest blocking 4chan. _
If they did that I guarantee it'd get exploited to no end by the homebrew scene.
http://www.gametap.com/ I would look on there, they have tons of classic games that you can play on your computer for a small subscription fee.
