Hi,

I was in Best Buy today to pick up a CF card for my camera,
and on the way in I saw someone carrying small snazzy green
box out of the store, and I saw another one at the checkout.

Curious, I asked, "What is that product?" and the clerk replied that
it was  indeed an XBox.

It would be great if it could be hacked as a Linux host platform,
after all, M$ is seriously subsidizing the expense of manufacturing
XBox in hopes of recovering money later through software sales, as
most game box companies have done in the past few years.

So it would be GREAT to see M$ basically subsidize Linux boxes!!!
