I hear what you say. But, this machine has crashed more times in the first month of it's life, and had the OS reinstalled more times in it's first week than my old machine, a Pentium P4 2.8ghz in it's whole life. And my old machine didnt have a sparkling pedigree, it was cobbled together by PCworld.
Here is the latest gem:

I know for sure, that I've never been bombarded with so many events. Is Windows 7 particulary aggressive compared to windows XP??
Thanks for putting up with my rants, its just a major issue when I come home, wifey in tears because she cant get her work done, and apps have hung and frozen the machine.
