You're still using Windows? Recently I had to use a Windows machine 
and I was surprised by the amount of crapware. Chinese software of 
today is much like what our software was ten years ago, but then 
worse. For example, one of the most popular video players is just like 
Real Player but then with ads displaying even when you're watching the 
video in full screen. Now, of course, you can install things such as 
the VLC Player, but I've always found maintenance a lot of work on 
Windows. Or do they finally have a way to update all of your software 
to the latest version with one click of the mouse?

Oh, good idea! I could just buy a PS3 then instead! I've actually 
thought about buying a console or perhaps even a portable such as the 
Playstation Vita or this Nintendo 3DS.

Okay, you know it's illegal to discuss Star Wars in here, don't you? 
Let me discuss with the elders whether or not you deserve to be 
banned!
