"No one in their right mind will prefer an STB to a PC if the WebTV is a representative of the class. Am I missing something?"

Yeah, my grandma is terrified of the PC but she uses her WebTV box often.
For those who are intimidated by a PC WebTV feels safer.
Your right tho' it sucks if your used to using a PC.

So do your in laws like it? Would they buy PC instead?

Over time they will get better. They will not replace the PC but will open a market to those who would not buy a PC anyway.
There a ton of room for both.
