Configuring a Windows 95 native game is easy, you insert the CD. No 
double-clicking. Just insert the CD and it auto installs.

Fine. We'll revisit this meaningless number in a year.

Oh, playing Windows/DOS games on a Mac? Why is that? Hmm.

Hmm. So you play a lot of DOS games on your Mac?

And I'd advise you to do the same, when you spend a significant percentage of 
your time playing DOS games on your Mac. You still have to configure 
DOS/Windows and deal with it, whether it's on a Mac or on a PC-- it's 
identical. So your claim that "you spend less time configuring your Mac" is a 
bit strange.
