That’s why I stick to MAG on the PS3.

I recently bought an OEM Win7 box, and so far I’m impressed with it. From the time I hit the power button, it’s booted up and ready to use within 30 seconds. It has done terrific with all of the games and apps I’ve thrown at it. It seems to be a very solid OS.

Core i7, 8GB RAM, 1GB Radeon graphics card, 1TB HD, 802.11N, and all of the other bells & whistles that come with pre-built machines these days.

I used to build my own computers exclusively, but I just don’t have the time to spend on it anymore.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" is very capable of being a comparable gaming platform

Capable maybe, but no Linux of any flavor will never be a viable gaming platform. To be viable installation of games must be user friendly, right out of box, without having to find, or worse code, drivers or wrapper programs to make the game work.

Maybe for individual games with certain hardware, but never for mass production. Bad enough getting a decent game library for Macs.
