Well the fact that there are people who can't drive either doesn't free them of their reposnability of driving. If you get in a wreck you caused it's because you had a lapse in judgement or didn't know how to drive. It's the exact same principle with the PC and viruses. It just means you do not know how to use a PC well and that's that. You can't blame the PC for something you have done.I have been playing WoW since 2004 all the time and I have still yet to see a virus. Which proves my point exactly, it's your fault that you got your viruses not your PC's. Otherwise I would have seen all these viruses you seem to have been getting.
As for your car running strangely without any given reason, there probably is a reason and it is probably your fault too, you just didn't know it is. If you force it too much, drive it over holes without being careful, yeah it may have strange things which you think you didn't cause, but it's still your fault. Unless it was a manufacturing problem it is highly likely that you shouldn't be blaming your car, but yourself.

So the fact that I haven't studied up enough on PC's or cars to not run into these issues makes me an idiot? Well I'll just go back to my simple console that luckily I can understand, hopefully someone will help me tie my shoes tomorrow morning so I don't trip over the shoe laces all day again.

No it just means you don't know enough about cars and PCs to prevent such problems which is fine. Blaming them for your ignorance though, that's idiotic.

But the point that the PC is more complicated because these issues exist still stands. The fact that you have to know how not to get virusses is an annoyance that some of us don't want to deal with, and therefore consoles are more plug and play friendly. If you have to read a "PCs for Dummies" book to not run into these issues then it's already more work than a console.

it's already getting better as more and more netbooks are coming in with more power(espeically AMD ones with APUs next year) so all you'd need is a.) internet b.) Steam, and it becomes not only a viable desktop platform(docking station or XGP port,) but also a portable gaming/general computing device which is a lot more than what consoles can offer. Desktop PCs will remain power user friendly while small laptops or netbooks will be the new fav for people not as oriented in computing, it'sa coming! btw, use Avast anti-virus, perfectly free and works great.
