Unless it's malware, I'm not sure why most people should need to know about all the software present on their machine - they're only interested in the bits they actually use, after all.



OSX and Windows are more popular with the general population, so that's hardly surprising. Unless you're counting people who are using things like Android, in which case I get the feeling most of them don't know exactly what software is lurking underneath the surface either.

Likewise, I don't really care what hardware is in my toaster as long as it toasts stuff without killing me.

Maybe it's just me not knowing what I'm looking for, but I really don't 'get' plasma. A bloke I work with tells me they're unbeatable, but I look and think the picture looks a bit dark and generally not that smooth. I was in Selfridges last night (God knows why, it's a horrible place), so I decided I'd try comparing a few of the TVs they have on show. All of the LED/LCD TVs they had out looked far better than the plasmas on show. When you went right up close, the detail looked much clearer, the edges seemed smoother and the colours were brighter and seemed more natural. I imagine if I was to go home and read a review on the TVs, the plasmas would probably win the review as they always do, but I really don't see why. As I said, maybe it's because I'm not an experienced eye, but I don't get the plasma love-in.

Would never buy a plasma tv, I'd personally stick with LED.

Plasmas are better for the 47"+ TVs.

The latest LG range of LED Smart TVs have a great picture, we have one (42"icon_wink.gif and bar the sound (which all thin TVs have problems with now) it's a top notch TV.

Our other TV's are LG and we have never had a problem. Looked at the 47" LED 3D Smart version with built in WiFi yesterday and it looks great.

We've got a 47" 3D (Not Smart though) LG. The only problem I have is the poor quality sound but if you're connected to a surround sound system it will be fine.
