The eliptical is relatively low impact and very easy on the knees. If used properly you can also burn more calories on an eliptical than you can running.
Overall, if used properly it can be a very effective machine.

That also means you don't gain any benefit from exercise in regards to bone mineral density. Ironically, the elliptical is used most often by women.
Boo ellipticals.
