Didn't you call yourself "a full-blooded PC gamer" in this very thread which is about current growth of PC games sales? All this talk about your love for Age of Empires II, a certain Sierra-Online adventure game and other PC games...and recently all I see from you are these negative comments about PC gaming. It's hard for me to take self-proclaimed, formerly avid PC gamers seriously if they probably only payed for a part of the PC games they ever played and if they sound as if they've never really liked PC gaming.
And there's no way any PC gamer in this world is spending or has been spending more than 50% of their time with solving PC gaming problems. Not under Win 7, not under Win XP, not even under Win 95 or MS-DOS (and those two weren't easy at all - in the early 90s I had to create separate boot disks for almost every single DOS game, e.g. for Civilization, Dune II, Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle, Wing Commander: Privateer or the infamous Star Wars: Rebel Assault - the first game that only worked with a CD-ROM drive and driver - but this certainly didn't take anywhere near 50% of my time).
