About the crashing, is this the final release or a beta?
Have you looked at the reliablity monitor to figure it out?
I have discovered that Media player 11 seems to be slightly problematic

And my pc, build 5744, seems to be unable to create restore points on its
own. I can create them manually. I wonder if my Raid 1 has anything to do
with it.
I haven't crashed much at all.
