I'd put up with it if it was open source, but being a commercial product, and still crashing /after/ a major system update (downloaded and installed all the patches today), but being a system that has cost a lot of money, I'd at least expect it to be able to pause a DVD without crashing.
I want to see if Linux can be installed on it, and use that and Kaffeine or Xine just to play back DVDs.
I think Linux will now boot on the Intel Mac's but not all the hardware is supported (performance is going to be horrible if you can't find anything other than generic vesa drivers) and no sound might be a problem.
Personally I would talk to Apple, I can't believe that systems were shipped with such an obvious bug so maybe there is a fix. Particularly because Front Row is the Apple feature of the moment.
