Xbox... just a test?
NullPointer:
I have to confess, I bought an XBox too and it rocks as a games console. I believe Void Mains comments above to be true...Microsoft actually make a loss on the hardware.
Mmmm, but back to the thread about Xbox being a testbed for TCPA / Palladium ? Yep pretty sure that this is the case, or is certainly a adventure on Bills behalf into Digital Rights Management...as is XP.

xbox is a test
it tests my ability to manage my chi and avoid VOMITING ALL OVER MYSELF OR SUFFERING AN EMBOLISM! IT TESTS MY ABILITY TO NOT GO VICIOUSLY PUMPING ROUND AFTER ROUND INTO RANDOM FOLK OFF THE STREETS!

It's getting there. Althoug why they would advertise the fact that it runs W2K I don't know, it's not as if that is the major achievement, after all that's essentially what the xbox is.
Mandrake 9.0 proves it's worth.

According to the article I got the feeling that they were running Win2k "under" Linux which to me means Win2k can not run by itself on the xbox without hardware virtualization, at least not the off-the-shelf version of Win2k. Maybe I misread it?
