Xbox 2 SDK Released On Mac G5?

Posted by simoniker on from the microsoft-and-apple-sitting-in-a-tree dept.

Espectr0 writes "The Inquirer reports rumors, courtesy anonymous sources, that Microsoft has released the Xbox 2 SDK to select videogame developers, and they are using 'dual Apple Power Mac G5 systems running a custom Windows NT Kernel.' This ties up with earlier rumors which mention that the XBox 2 will be powered by the IBM chip, and ATI will be providing the video chip." The report also notes: "Interestingly, the SDK apparently also features an Apple logo on a side bar within the application."

    What idiot moderator moderated this as informative? Microsoft owns no part of Apple, that stock deal awhile back is over, and Microsoft has no voting option on that stock anyway.

    Umm.. I was creating Mac games with Turtle, Hypercard, and MacPaint in the 80's. I was a Mac user for over a decade, back when there used to be a grey area... So don't lecture me. I also notice that you didn't argue with anything I said.

    Our numbers increase

    Really? They've been decreasing for years, decades even.

    our egos increase

    Yep, which is why you turn off everyone else. I refuse to associate myself with people like you.

    The end is near for beast in Redmond.

    Apple nutjobs have been saying this for 20 years. What else is new.
