Nvidia's GPU troubles are mainly concentrated with the 9600/9800 Chipset on the Desktop end and 8400/8600 Chipset on the notebook end.
The PS3 uses a souped up 79xx chipset which has a proven record.
People are pissed off with Vista because MS is forcing people to use the OS, ever tried asking Dell, HP etc. for XP on your Laptop/Desktop ?? HP will flatly refuse and Dell will try to make a quick buck on the downgrade.
Vista runs great on any system with 2-4 GB of Ram and a decent video card to boot, Nvidia 6600 Gt onwards and Ati Radeon 1300 onwards.
But it is a mess on lap tops with integrated video solutions.
Even with 1GB of Ram a Vista is going to test one's patience.
The Shutdown and Startup time is another issue, ever noticed why the default shutdown in vista is going to put your PC into hibernate.
The Xbox 360 on Paper is a great product, but it has some issues when it comes to the stability of its hardware. Nintendo had similar issues when it released the NES in the 1980's. Nintendo recalled every NES from the market fixed the problem and sent it back to the shops.
What does MS do ?? they continue to sell the faulty 360's and stuff the channel with the same. Their rrod replacements are no better. MS knows they are selling you a faulty system, they know the replacement they have given you for the rrod system will break down.
MS should Fix the mess they have created before buying xbox 360 exclusives titles.
Heeeeyyyy!!!! <Snap>
