Windows 2000 Runs On Xbox Under Linux

Posted by Hemos on from the oh-the-irony-of-life dept.

MBCook writes "Everybody's favorite Xbox hackers have got Linux running for roughly six weeks, and now it runs well enough to announce that Windows has been run inside Linux with common PC virtualization software. They even have a little video of it playing a MPEG 4 of The Matrix fullscreen!"

    The obvious question is if they can get an Windows XBox Emulator working within Windows2000 on the Xbox.
    And the not-so-obvious question is will the games run faster because of the improved kernel/software ;)
