What are the flaws of your preferred platform?

PC is preferred atm until the consoles release some exclusives again.

- Windows 7 patches, how many times does it need to be patched, really.
- Long time to start up. Sure the desktop appears fast but before it actually becomes responsive...
- Log in to Steam, log in to ubi / ea / whatever account, enable gamepad driver, a lot of extra steps.
- Getting certain games to run correctly can take a lot of effort.
- Random slowdown in places depending on what your gpu struggles with, badly optimized code.
- The odd crash to desktop or lockup now and then, still more frequent then on consoles (although they're catching up, hurray?)
- A lot of games crash when I switch inputs momentarily. Win 7 forces games to go into some ungodly weird resolution when it loses the HDMI link for a moment. (Alt-tab first usually prevents it, but I still forget sometimes)
- Some games make we rather want to stick a needle in my eye instead of getting an online server to work (eg Terraria)
- My HDD is getting full and I have a bandwidth cap. To delete digital downloads or not to delete them. It was an easier decision with boxed products. A lot faster to re-install too.
