The independence of X-box that is. I’ve been away for a few days so I dunno if this is old news but…

Yes… yes… cries
Hold me. ;_;
And about the X-Box getting Linux… uh- whoo?
Aren’t gaming consoles meant for GAMES- not OSes? 8P
By the time I clicked on this thread I was already wondering if Will Smith were stupid enough to be in another Sci-fi sequel.
I wouldn’t buy an X-box just for Linux, but I might buy it for MechAssault, provided I was a multibillionaire international playboy with about $400 left over after what I’d put aside for ale 'n whores.

Since when is the X Box a console? I always thought it was a computer with controller ports, TV Out, and a lack of most regular ports.
And it’s obvious you haven’t been online during the last couple of days: This is old. About as old as that mouldy cheese in the back of my fridge, or your granny.
Linux is trying to take over the world! Hurry, those that have no understanding of programming and OSes outside of Windows must stop them before it is too late!
Nah, just kidding. But Linux for XBox is a waste. OSes are for computers, NOT consoles. When will people seperate the two damn markets?

You are aware that the same project will allow pirated games to be played? That should create some interest to the, let’s call them, ordinary users.
It’s a pretty bad blow to Microsoft. Now that Linux geeks will surely run out and buy lots and lots of X-Boxes to use them as cheap servers.

It’s the eternal “whose penis is bigger” contest between Linux and Windows.

Not this stupid bullshit again. Give it a rest and with that sort of logic, we should stop playing Starcraft, Warcraft, Morrowind, etc. and the PS2 is very bad since it actually supports the stuff. The GC gas just as many computer parts and the DC runs on Windows CE. Oh no! A console based on an OS! The world must be coming to an end. Shit…That is a bunch of bullshit. Infonick bitch slaps Xelo a million times
Morrowind has an XBox port, dude…

I know, I’m just naming PC games that come to mind that you all love. Replace it then with Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, etc.
I still am unsure what the hell you were trying to say.

I’m trying to say that everybody’s hate of the XBOX because it is a PC and not a console is stupid. Look at what Xelo said, he calls it a PC with different connections, I’m trying to point out that even if the XBOX was a PC (which it isn’t), that isn’t a problem since we like PC games.
I don’t think people hate it because it’s a PC, hell I’m not even sure Xelo hates it. People hate it cuz it’s Microsoft and all.

Either way, when it comes down to what peope say their reason is, it always seems to involve the XBOX being a PC. You’re probably right on their reasoning, but they still hide behind the PC excuse.
Actually, no. This is the first time I’ve ever heard about people complain that it’s too PC-Like. And considering this stupid story, they may be right.
