They claim that they run W2k under pc virtualisation software (does this mean VM or Wine, et al.) And the run basic apps like office. But the technical detail is not so easily forthcoming.

This is their official press release.

Xbox runnning Mandrake 9.0 running W2K (now thats trustworthy computing).
