I'm about the same; I'm not a fan of Microsoft or their operating system (running Mandrake 9.0 right at the moment), but when it came to choosing a console, the Xbox was the obvious choice.
By the way, people who don't drool at the name "Halo" haven't played it. I'm a big fan of the FPS genre, and Halo is the best I've played in years and years. Remember the feeling you got playing the original Wolfenstein? Like you were in the presence of the Next Big Thing? It's that way with Halo.
I can't speak for the gaming community, alls I know is, I'm happy with my Xbox.
