One thing keeps me on android. Access to the filesystem. Take last night for example... I downloaded a video torrent in bed then streamed it to my Xbox one on the TV. Or say I'm bored at work. I can torrent an audio book.
When you spend hours reinstalling xp / 7 , updating direct x, drivers, chasing mallware etc. i spend the time playing games on my console. That's what "deliberately crippled computer" is good for. It wont run office, photoshop... but i can play without hassle.
Come on! DirectX is auto updated when you install a game that needs it. Drivers take 5 minutes every month or two. Anyone on this site should know how to not get malware or atleast remove it. Once your system is setup initially it should be as easy as a console to use... more so with steam.
"PS. The idea of my wife 'hosing me down' after work is somewhat appealing but to each his own.;-"
You either lied and do not have a wife or you must have not be married long.

I agree. It is it least we can do considering we may have contributed to their extinction.
For once someone gave a unit of measure for "Fuckton"
