    Not to mention that every purchase of an Xbox is giving money to Microsoft, the Great Satan of Linux and Slashdot!

    Blah you don't know what you're talking about, linux doesn't have any standard graphics or sound api's. Unless you use OpenGL; then you have to wonder what toolkit you'll use.. too much of a headache.
