Apparently you can now run linux on an unmodified xbox using the James Bond 007 game as a kind of boot loader.

M$ may have "really good hardwares", but they damn sure didn't make any of it themselves. The M$ mice may have the name "Microsoft" stamped on them, but they're really made in China. They don't make the X-Crox either.
