It may be a good OS (I don't know yet), but seeing as the Xbox has such high specs, and it'll be designed mainly for that, I can't see the Xbox OS going too far.

Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

The original Xbox ran Windows.  (sort of)

I wonder what the 360 is...

Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

They basically stole VMS, well not quite, just the people who wrote it.

So can we arrest them based on the various NDAs they've breached?  Or should we just leave the legal system out of this one?

They paid for DOS, and sold it for roughly 10x as much. Nifty shit.

I think we should form a terrorist group and seige Microsoft in Redmond.
