Google is your friend. Let me rephrase, instead of forceful updates, think invisible updates that you aren't supposed to be aware of. Kinda like Comcast's invisible bandwidth limitation and Macintosh's old usage policy, they're a bunch of a crap and you won't know it 'till someone comes up to you with a statement and a piece of paper that'd ruin the rest of your day.
Rad: The new Sabayon Linux (4.0r1) has been a pain in my rear. I'm sticking with 3.4f, Fedora 10 and Mandriva 2009. As far as any other OSs go, I'm sticking with the official BlackXP and Violet Vista releases, though still trying and testing others as per usual. AND GET SOME TAN! My skin's ugly as it is. >_>
Hey, did Rockmon just promote my custom computer services? 
But yeah, get a DELL and you won't have to worry about this new virus at all. >_> Buy an expensive system from them and get all the more the bloatware that'll kill it anyway.
As for games, anybody up for StarCraft? 
Anyway.. I do have a XP that's run on a Dell computer, so no worries there. :p
... Damn, if only I have the StarCraft installer.. Ah well, at least I get some epicness from Tsuyoshi.
