they are too complicated, and they just feel different.
When I started to play games with the atari 2600 (and with pong before that) there was some kind of magic going on.
You put a block in your console connected to your tv-set, you turned it on and presto! there was a faultless game experience every time!
Over the years the magic went away with games requiring more and more patches even to the point of games not being able to finish without a patch.
When playing on a PC you also had all the fiddling with drivers and stuff to make it work (dos and later windows)
Which game experiences are there nowadays giving a magic like experience? (have to say it, the Wii comes close with a different kind of magic)

But _should_ running Ad-Aware or installing firewalls, removing pop-ups be a basic task?
No,
I would use a tabbed browser instead.
