what do you base this on?

Pure guesswork?

It looks like PC worlds research indicates that the majority of people who responded to the question had a DVD drive, Means nothing unless every buyer and potentioal buyer replied.

Based on the computers I see in my shop, less then 1 in 20 has a DVD drive......

408791 2005-11-30 06:25:00 Just got the mag - didn't really care what was on the DVD until I read it has the F.E.A.R demo on it.
PCWorld distributing nasties now!!!!

And later in the mag is an article on Spyware. Perhaps an amendment is needed: "Beware PCWorld DVD software".

408792 2005-11-30 06:59:00 Since Metla has made a good point of saying only 5% of people have dvd drives would you think pcworld would start putting software on thier dvd for the 5% of us that have mac's. 95% of mac users have a dvd drive so no issues there.
:rolleyes:

I'm happy with it if you chuck on more game demos - downloads are getting pretty heavy these days... :)

408794 2005-11-30 07:05:00 Just out of curiosity apart from burning cd's on the fly...what benefit does having a second DVD drive on your computer have? :confused: bob_doe_nz (92)
408795 2005-11-30 07:07:00 I have a DVD writer and money for such things not a big prob. However there are quite a few enthusiastic people out there, including younger people, who have to make do with what they have got (I remember those days !) and I think it a bit cavalier to not give them some option.
