Mess as in "a bunch of", not "disaster". Otherwise, I really don't care 
what "special" BS MS gets to use, but no one else does, because everyone 
added all the features to the cards/drivers, in a way that is unusable 
to anyone that doesn't want to spend $2,000+ upgrading everything from 
hardware and memory, to the OS, to run stuff it would be cheaper to buy 
an XBox 360 to play.. Yeah, I "prefer" the changeability you get from a 
PC platform, which is locked down on consoles, but not at the "cost" of 
doing it, especially when nearly every dang thing for PC now is using 
something like Steam, which defeats the whole fracking point of running 
without internet, if you need to, and I am stuck with an OS I don't need 
for "anything else" to do it.
