You seem to miss my point entirely.  I disagree with your arguments but
we're quite off topic I think.

Let me recap:

Chris made a point about gaming on windows being better than other PC
platforms.  I did NOT disagree with this statement--in fact I agreed
with it.  But I went a step further and made a point that gaming on
Windows stinks compared to consoles.

I then gave reasons why PC gaming (Windows, LInux, MAc) is never as
simple and easy as a console.  I am the one who gets calls from friends
and family to help with their stupid PC problems.  I"ll be happy to
refer them to you if you disagree with my assessment. ;)

I ended by saying people who want to play games should buy consoles (so
that they dont' call ME when they have problems.)

You seemed to reply with something along the lines of: consoles are
lower quality and more expensive to upgrade than PCs.  Again, I disagree
with this but it's OK to disagree with each other.

Then you proceeded to explain why LInux has few commercial games.  Yes I
agree with all of that and it only reinforces my point.

I don't think there's anything constructive to say here.  I suppose you
can reply if I've misunderstood your response but is this discussion
serving any purpose?  I'm regretting that I replied to the OP.
