"Are the graphics as good with it as they've been claiming?"Graphics are pretty good. Damn good for a console and beginning to contend with PC level graphics. I've got it on a 48" 1080i screen and visually it's several steps better than the old Xbox now sitting to the side as a doorstop.

What version of Windows are you running and what software are you running on it? I've been running Windows XP on a fairly new Dell machine with 3.2 ghz Intel processor, and the only thing that crashed Windows a few times was a faulty modem driver. After I upgraded the modem driver from Dell's website, Windows hasn't crashed once in over five months. There's occasionally a crash of Internet Explorer that is apparently caused by some external storage device software running in the background. You do have to upgrade your Windows software and device driver software to get bug fixes. That might fix some of your problems. Mac's have more standardized hardware controlled by Apple so they probably have fewer of these problems.
If you want to know how Microsft ended up with 90% market share, that was because Apple gave away most of its market share to Wintel in the late 80's and the 90's by refusing to compete on price. They priced their Mac's way above PC's with comparable performance and gave the market to Wintel. I believe that mistake motivated Apple to bring back Steve Jobs as CEO (a good move.)

Haven't had any problems yet. No crashes. Even left it on (accidentally) all day yesterday when we went out for Thanksgiving and it was cool to the touch when we got back, contrary to some reports of overheating.
