It just doesn't make sense to me, I don't see the inherent advantage, less people will buy the game.

For this of us who are not that advanced please explain to me all this in simple English.
What exactly i wouldn't be able to do?
What the hell is "IW", dedicated servers, ...?
-VAC instead of PB
• Semi-capable password servers
• Semi-capable ad-hoc servers
• Competitive play is dead
What does all this mean???

You know how when u play a game you join a server? That is a dedicated server.
MW2 will have player hosted servers, which provide terrible performance and pings.
The game will have no mods (and therefore no competitive play/matches), no custom maps or content.

VAC is Valves anti-cheat, as opposed to Punkbuster.

Basicly its just like a console online game, no choice of who or where you play (or any content)
