I'm pretty certain the folks NOT having the problems won't be posting somewhere complaining about their lack of problems...
There's no question that these machines are lemons and Mac is not owning up to the problem. Mac's own discussion board gives an idea how serious the situation is: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=767058&tstart=0
It is going to take a serious revolt by Mac users to correct the situation.
