All well and good at the point of purchase, but I can see a problem.

What happens when joe soap and wife (who have little experience of computers apart from using one at work) see one of these pc's, decide to buy one for the kids as it is far more helpful to their future education than a console, and then find that they can't use (say) the family digital camera as no one has written drivers? What happens whe little johnny soap (their son) discovers that not only has he got a pc instead of the console he was promised, but that 90% of the games available won't run without extra software (if at all)?
