Indeed devving for the PC platform is a lot harder than it is for consoles, because of the vast variety in hardware and software that makes up today's PCs. Microsoft tried to 'mend' this problem by introducing this 'Windows Experience Rating' which in theory should make it easier for potential buyers to see if the game/software they want to buy will actually run on their PC. You only need to remember your Windows Experience Index number and look at the back of the packaging. Alas things are not as simple.

Now don't let these comment sway you in the direction of getting a console Matt! Just make sure your PC hardware is up to date, your drivers too and install those games, DRM rootkits and all. :-P
