I just realized something. Xbox is just a front for improving Pallium.
Since the Xbox is online and attracts hackers (obviously), and that a version of Win2k runs on it...
..that means that they can 'fix' the hacks on the Xbox, while at the same time fix the hacks on Pallium and trusted computing, since the chips are similar. The Xbox they can change anytime without worring about petty things such as 'compatability', and thusly it's a safe system to 'fix'.
In other words, every time you hack an Xbox, you are actually helping 'Trusted Computing' when it finally gets released be less modification proof.
Ingenius, no?
(Please take note that I am not refering to Microsoft as M$ right now. In fact, I think that this was a brilliant move by Microsoft. I don't agree with Pallium or 'Trusted computing' but that's another post entirely)
o_0 uhhhh alex... you are way too paranoid.
Just buy one or shut the fuck up...
I think they are only planning to release palladium for your computer, thus the only xbox they are testing is the one you will eventually buy and love.

Only the paranoid survive, Darth.
you're right! you're absolutely right! all this time I hated them because windows doesn't work right and the M$ (I will call them that) monopoly on the home computer market has not allowed me to purchase a Mac.

BS. You can buy macs right now. They sell them at CompUSA or you can order them online. I plan on owning one in the near future, Windows monopoly or not.
I doubt Bill's that ambitious.
Just buy the thing or don't!
It seems to me that the only rational thing to do is buy an X-box and not attempt to hack it, thereby avoiding helping the Evil Empire.
Meh, just play Playstation2 and be happy.

do you wear tinfoil hats alex?
and as the world goes boing, gates is thought as weird as some and evilin its purest form by others. 
I really get annoyed when people make crass allogations against MS, or write catty articles about them. Why? Because it makes the rest of us who have legitimate complaints against them look bad.
Where did I 'accuse' them of anything in this post? I just stated one thing that was advantageous to their Xbox/Pallium systems. Hell, I even complimented Microsoft.
just chill out about microsoft. just leave them alone for a while.
