This has been a critism of the system by developers from the start.
But greeted with indifference by the vast majority of end-users. Nintendo seldom puts a foot wrong in gauging what hardware the game-buying public actually desire. This device will continue to make serious money for the Big N for the foreseeable future.
unless you want to spend one heck of a lot of extra money and go to examining the physical media for overwritten data.
I'm familiar with Peter Guttmann's paper on recovering overwritten data, but has anyone EVER used such forensic techniques to successfully extract even one-pass overwrites using zeroes ? All these file shredders which perform the entire range of Guttmann's erasing techniques seem to be so much snake-oil to my mind.
Having an encrypted laptop harddrive just risks a "Sir, if you don't decrypt this for us, we'll have to take it into our lab. You'll get it back in a month".
Or, if you live in the UK, Section 49 of Part III of RIPA could land you five years in prison for refusing to make the contents of the drive 'intelligible'. Enjoy.
The words "out of the box" are significant to the arguments, but really quite insignificant to an end-user. Windows supports very little hardware by itself in comparison to Linux. However, once you add the third-party Windows drivers (most of which are shipped on a disk with your hardware or available from the manufacturer's website or FTP server), Windows supports everything useful to a current PC owner. Seriously, expecting a normal computer user (as opposed to a geek) to compile ndiswrapper to support a USB Wi-Fi stick is just asking waaaaaay too much. It's still a significant hurdle standing in the way of widespread Linux acceptance. People (geeks included) want to buy a new piece of hardware and get it up and running and productive in as short a time as possible. I would suggest that Windows will give you quicker access to your new toy in the majority of cases. The situation might change in time, but I'm not holding my breath.
"I'm not an elitist," Altman said. "It's just that I'd much rather sculpt or write in my journal or read Proust than sit there passively staring at some phosphorescent screen."
"If I need a fix of passive audio-visual stimulation, I'll go to catch a Bergman or Truffaut film down at the university," Altman said. "I certainly wouldn't waste my time watching the so-called Learning Channel or, God forbid, any of the mind sewage the major networks pump out."
Continued Altman: "People don't realize just how much time their TV-watching habit-or, shall I say, addiction-eats up. Four hours of television a day, over the course of a month, adds up to 120 hours. That's five entire days! Why not spend that time living your own life, instead of watching fictional people live theirs? I can't begin to tell you how happy I am not to own a television."

The cake is a lie.
Sharkey and those from the ISP community seemed optimistic that "some kind of agreement between rightholders and ISPs can be reached."
Unless Feargal Sharkey's seeming optimism is somehow newsworthy now that THE ELECTION (tm) is finally over.
'Redundant' ? 'Pixilated' has a different meaning to 'pixelated'.
More likely to actually end up in your hand.
