This is directly contrary to my experience managing a college with about 100-120 Macs in use, all but a handful of which are Intel macs of one form or another; none 'consistently crash'. Of course there are occasional issues, but most of those have been fixed by either starting in safe mode (to clear the caches) using Applejack (once per machine so far, not as a routine maintenance) or most often, just getting enough RAM in the systems. (people trying to run a bunch of Mac apps plus Windows in a VM need more than 2GB ram, or the system slows to a crawl on a regular basis.) It's been about two months since I switched from my trusty ol' Gigabit G4 to a late '09 Mac Mini. The previous owner had wiped the HD and reinstalled the original system s/w which was an early version of Snow Leopard and then upgraded it to the current 10.6.6. For about the first month, I did experience strange things like application crashes, sleep issues etc but now it seems as if the machine has learned my habits. It is now rock steady, runs 24/7 (much of it in sleep mode) without any problems. Safari which always gave me fits on the G4 is now amazing. Other apps as well and I am running Rosetta (sp?) for an older game, Mah Jong and it works just fine. Moving across a ten year technology bridge has been quite an impressive journey! Wow!

Re: Apple inside?
I know they do but I still do not see how console systems relate to a PPC based mobile chip that went nowhere ultimately. It was not a vanilla Cell chip but was based on the same tech. If I remember correctly it was axed since nobody was looking to get into PPC based mobile devices to make it viable. Given the timing of its announcement it seemed like they just completed it to publicly snub Apple as odd as that sounds.
