"The Free60 Project wiki and developers mailinglist has been launched. The project aims to port open source operating systems like GNU/Linux and Darwin to the Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming console. The site already contains some interesting details about the Xbox 360 security: per-box key stored on CPU, boot ROM will be on CPU too and a hypervisor verifies the running state of the kernel."

Hmm, an extremely fast computer at 400$ anyone ?

The xbox has always been a pc only. Albeit one with fixed specs, all the better to run those heavy optimizations.

 

[Aces170]

^^ Yes, but an extremely cheap one at that, infact they incur a los of around 100$ while selling at 400$.

Yeah but you know how much money Microsoft makes on DirectX licensing and royalty?

 

[Aces170]

LOL its M$, they will eventually make money, but my point is the hardware is extremely cheap. And with modifications this will be a steal. Now only ATI would realese Xenos's Linux driver package.

Exactly even I was wondering why not take the XBOX360 if it can do what a midend PC can do and better.
