WebTV box doesn't really run any windows software yet. XBox is a real msft effort. I doubt that it will be noisy when it is shipped. Fast boots also will be automatic if the hardware configuration is known, like it is in xbox. When you have complete control over a machine and software, you can be really innovative. Microsoft's main problem in OS land at this point is that it has almost no control over the hardware on the machine nor its quality. And it just shares the blame. Of course, that keeps the costs down due to competition and thereby it is able to do better than a company like aapl.
