With all of the geek hoopla of getting a Mac OS running on an IBM PC lately, coders must be waiting in the wings for their next big challenge: running the latest Apple software on the Xbox 360.
In November, the fastest Macintosh in the world will be a Microsoft XBox 360 running a three-way, 3.2Ghz, PowerG5 successor. Of course, Microsoft's Digital Rights Management implementation will prevent it from running MacOS X.
But what if the Xbox could be taken apart and reassembled (like a pc) and built into a custom PC with a hacked OS to undermine DRM? Methinks it's not a question of if, but when.
With the high price of a Mac, surely $3-400 for a new Xbox 360 is more affordable, even with all the hacking required.
A little ironic that Microsoft is putting out a home entertainment system that is going to be the fastest Mac in the world!
