Isn't that equally the advantage and the folly of consoles? They are basically computers, but locked down. You can't do with your hardware what you want; you get told what's good. Just like with Apple, it's a golden cage; good because it's golden; bad because it's a cage. On PC, it's the other way around: It's not a cage, you have the power to change pretty much anything. With that power comes responsibility, though. There's infinitely more ways of fucking up your PC; the freedom isn't golden anymore.
